WELCOME TO THE JUBILEE WALK, LEIRE, LEICESTERSHIRE

The Jubilee Walk is a beautiful, serene walk through an old railway cutting at Leire in Leicestershire being re-developed by volunteers. Click here for a map

The Jubilee Walk Leire at the start of the project

The Leire Council have done a great job in clearing rubbish, keeping it mown and have had various volunteers over the years.

Whilst still pretty and a popular place for walkers, it had become overgrown and supported mainly Hawthorne and Nettles.

Where's Mike?

In September 2007 a group of volunteers approached the Council for permission to improve the site and they set to work on the 16th September.

This site is from those volunteers who in September 2007 fell in love with the walk.
We want to make The Jubilee Walk a place where residents of Leire (and ramblers from afar) can more fully enjoy the walk, where we can have a good time every other Sunday and we can increase the number of Bird, Butterfly and Dragonfly habitats. (Not to mention the huge number of Plants we have started cataloging).

Enjoy the site, but more importantly come and enjoy The Jubilee Walk.
