Waterside Belgrave (A Guided Walk in Leicester)

“Waterside Belgrave” is a Guided Walk devised and led by Blue Badge Guide Colin Crosby, of Colin Crosby Heritage Tours, and is one of his very popular Waterside Walks series.

These strolls are an enjoyable way of soaking up some Local History.

This walk starts at the Cardinal Wolsey Statue in Abbey Park, Leicester, outside the refreshment rooms.

The route follows the canal and the beautiful River Soar, taking in some of Abbey Park as well as the old village of Belgrave.

Interesting sights along the way include the mediaeval St. Peters Church, Belgrave, two 18th century mansions, two locks and an ancient bridge, as well as Abbey Pumping Station and the futuristic National Space Centre.

Other walks in the Belgrave area are “Old Belgrave” and “Haunted Belgrave”.
