This walk uses the footpaths along Barton Road. The Roman Villa site is not far away, (not accessible) and so is Silk Hill where Neolithic and early Anglo Saxon pottery was discovered in 2017 & 2018. A historic part of Market Bosworth. This rural walk takes us across the old Kyngs Golf Course to the Ashby Canal, and Marina. Crossing the canal, we travel to Far Coton and then to the edge of Shenton enjoying views of the Battlefield Line from the canal viaduct. From there we continue to the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre. We then cross the road (or continue along the canal path) and walk back across fields to Sutton Lane and Market Bosworth. Uneven ground, 4 stiles, and at least 12 steep steps. 7 miles approx.
