23rd June 2024: The walk begins at the car park for the Three Crowns Inn. Cross the High Street and walk up Church Street past the Roundhouse. The Roundhouse is actually octagonal and was previously used as the village lock-up (a small gaol) as well as for funeral bier storage. The single-storey building behind it was once the village smithy.
12th May 2024: John Broadhead led us from Fleckney car park, along Main Street, up to the point where the road name becomes Arnesby Road – at the house named Hounds End.
9th June 2024: John and Denise took the lead on this walk and they led us from the cricket ground on Main Street, Gumley, down the road and through the gate into the church wood. We turned left out of the wood and followed The Leicestershire Round over Smeeton Hill and down to the canal feeder.
