1 Groby Pool and Bradgate Park Bradgate House Lin and John A circular walk from Groby Pool via Anstey Village, Bradgate Park and Newtown Linford Village. Duration - 2 ½ to hours 3½ hours Distance - 9¼ kilometres ( 5½ miles) Circular walks around Leicestershire Written and published by Lin and John Blount.

2 Be safe walking - When ever you plan to go out walking it is a good idea to take some basic safety precautions as conditions can change during your walk and what may have started out to be a nice sunny day may turn out to be wet and cold. Make sure that you have the basics right Wear - strong walking boots that support your ankles plenty of layers of clothing (you can always take a layer off if you get too hot) Take with you - a compass and a map a waterproof jacket (preferably with a hood) a pair of waterproof over trousers gloves and a hat (a hat will keep you warm in winter and in summer it will protect against the sun) enough food to last your walk and take more than you think you need in case of emergencies a basic first aid kit, a torch and bivy-bag in case you or someone in your party gets injured. A mobile phone is also a good idea, just in case. You may never need all of these things but if you ever find yourself in an emergency you will be glad you took them with you. Although every effort has been made to ensure that this guide is accurate the reader should be aware that conditions can change and may vary with the season. 1

3 Directions from Leicester by car - Leave Leicester on Anstey Lane (A5630) and at the roundabout signposted for M1 south, leave at the second exit onto the A46. Stay on A46 for 0.68 miles and exit onto A50, fourth exit on the round about. Stay on A50 for 2.49 miles. Leave A50, signposted Newtown Linford and go straightforward onto Newtown Linford Lane. Groby Pool car park is in 0.5 miles. Directions from Leicester by bus - From Leicester St. Margaret's bay 8, take service No. 217 or 218 operated by Arriva Fox County (Ask for the Stamford Arms, Groby) and follow the directions given here. Unfortunately there is no direct bus link to Groby Pool, however you can catch a bus to Groby Village and it is a short walk from here to the starting point which is at Groby Pool car park. There is no need to go all the way to Goby Pool car park as you can start your walk at the gated road signed FISH4ALL Groby Fishing lakes (see page 5 photograph 1b).

4 Groby Village ( Groby, pronounced Groby), Groby Pool, Anstey Village and Newtown Linford Village. Groby village has expanded vastly since the 1970s but the old village centre still retains some character, with some cobbled lanes and thatched cottages. The main church dates from 1840 and stands on the site of Groby Castle. No remains are left of the castle, other than a slight rise in ground to the east of the main church building. Historically, the village is noted for its connection with two Queens of England. Groby Old Hall was owned by the Grey family whose estate included Bradgate Park. John Grey, 7th Baron Ferrers of Groby married Elizabeth Woodville. After his death, in battle, she married Edward IV of England. Bradgate Park was the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey, who became Queen of England for nine days in There is no definitive explanation of the roots of the village's name, but its '-by' ending implies a link to Viking rule during the period of the Danelaw. Also, groo is a Viking word for pit, which may well refer to the quarry situated next to the village. Although Groby is noted in the Domesday Book there is no mention of a lake. The earliest recorded reference to it is in 1297 and there is evidence of a mill associated with Groby Pool from this date right up to the early 20th century, the last 27. At the yellow post (photograph 27a), cross the stile and follow the farm track down the hill and round the corner to the left, passing a yellow post on your right as you do so (photograph 27b). 27a. 28. Continue on the track through the opening into the next field, keeping on the track to the gate. Go through the gate keeping straight ahead on the footpath before you until you reach a yellow post. 27b. 29. At the yellow post turn right keeping to the footpath that meanders between the road and Groby Pool. Take care as part of the footpath uses the road for short distance. This will take you back to Groby Pool car park and the end of our walk. 28. Groby Pool 3 12

You are now in the village of Newtown Linford. Just before the Post Office tea rooms, look for the footpath sign (near the bus stop) which leads up to the left of the Past Office tea shop. 25. At the yellow post the footpath opens out into a field. Cross the stile and walk straight up the field, keeping the hedge on your left, to the next yellow post. 26. At the yellow post, cross the stile (care needs to be taken as this is the main road between Newtown Linford and Groby) then cross the road to the yellow post opposite being a saw mill located in Sheet Hedges Wood. Groby Pool and the surrounding area was notified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1956 because of the wide range of plants and animals to be found there. Anstey Village dates back to Angle origins, when it was known as Hanstige, meaning a narrow forest track. Local industry included hosiery, boots and shoes, box making, and wallpaper some of which survive to this day. Whilst developing the site for the new co-op store in 2002 archaeologists were called in and found remains dating back to the 12th Century. These are the earliest discovered remains, although the village is recorded in the Doomsday book. A plaque recording this has been placed on the wall of the new shop. Famous past Anstey residents include Ned Lud (machinewrecker, whose name was appropriated by the Luddites), and Snooker player and commentator Willie Thorne. Newtown Linford boasts a large number of old cottages with a lot of character - especially between Groby Lane and Markfield Lane. At the end of Groby Lane is the village Cricket Pitch. There is a church next to the cricket pitch, but the village cemetery lies at the top of the hill on Groby Lane. The villages name originates from the re-location of people when Earl Grey turned Bradgate into a deer park. The people who lived within the estate were moved to the "New Town" - or hamlet as it would have been then, at the ford of the river Lin. There are two pubs in the village, The Bradgate and The Linford. The Bradgate is a modern gastropub which serves a range of French/Italian inspired cuisine. Newtown Linford is also the main entrance to Bradgate Park. The River Lin runs through the village, before flowing through Bradgate Park and joining the reservoir at Cropston. 4
