Market Harborough and District Guided Walks
Welcome!
Market Harborough and district may not be a natural tourist destination, but it has a lot to offer for day trips and weekend stays.
Harborough is a lovely market town with an intriguing past. The guided walks shine a light onto its important place in our nation's history, not to mention the buildings and people who made it the town it is today.
The Town is surrounded by many beautiful villages. The guided village walks bring to life their fascinating back stories and intriguing past.
If you are a fresh air fiend, then why not book a countryside walk or join in the Walking Festival - new for 2022 - with insights into farming, wildlife and the lost villages of Leicestershire.
Coach tours can also be organised around the local area. Especially popular is the Naseby Battle tour.
