Ghost Walks in Leicestershire, Barbara Wadd - In this book, you may
encounter headless ghosts or phantom cyclists, a profusion of nuns and a
skeletal monk, and one you won't want to meet, Black Shug, a fearsome
beast the size of a wolf. This is a collection of 30 circular walks set in
the delightful county of Leicestershire. The walks range from 1-10 miles
in length. Each walk has at least one ghost story attached to a part of
it; some walks having several chilling tales, which, hopefully, will bring
a shiver to even the warmest clad rambler. You should be warned that some
of the ghosts are 'hands on', so you may be pushed or shoved in the back.
One ghost has a predilection for women so you may have your face stroked
or your bottom patted; however, if you are a man, he may try to suffocate
you. You will visit some of the less frequented parts of Leicestershire,
experiencing the superb variety of the scenery from the delights of river
valleys to panoramic viewpoints. On quiet paths, kestrels hover over
pastures while the mewing cries of buzzards draw your eyes to their
soaring flight Jays and woodpeckers may be glimpsed in woodland, stately
herons stand motionless in reed beds. The walks include
visits to famous halls and houses and some fascinating churches, including
one of Leicestershire's hidden gems, the tiny, exquisite Withcote Chapel. Published March 10 |
