The walk is through Bradgate Park to the Lady Jane Grey ruin before turning east up the fields and a lane back to Cropston.

The first part of the walk is along hard surfaces until the turn back to Cropston. Anyone who doesn't fancy a walk across the fields they could just retrace the walk back to the pub. There is a cafe and toilet facilities in the park.
