Burrough Hill Fort & Dalby Hills - Day Walk

Burrough Hill, crowned by an Iron Age hill fort, is part of the Dalby Hills range.  At 690 feet (210m) it is a superb viewpoint and one of the highest hills on east Leicestershire, and since 1970 the area surrounding it has been a country park.  

The walk descends below the earthworks of the fort, continues along a quiet lane at the base of the hills and then climbs back onto them.  The last part of the route is through woodland and across open hillside following the Dalby Hills Path.

The wooded stretch of this walk has a wealth of bird life, and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a muntjac deer - they're only a little bigger than a piglet.

Waitlist: If this event is fully booked and you want to attend, just add yourself to the waitlist, because places inevitably become available closer to the date.
