Very flat but quite narrow. Definitely PB potential if you start near the front. 2 laps. Very scenic.

Flat course and pb potential if there is no flooding! There are temporary toilets now.

Scenic and flat course. Great for a PB attempt. Nice to wander around the lakes before and after too.

Good flat course apart from a bridge you go over twice, can be congested at the start as it is narrow. Although tarmac there are a few areas you need to be careful due to tree routes and possible wet leaves depending on the season

Just North of Central Leicester. Vandals have destroyed the parking meters so parking is free (usually £2.50) scenic laps of 2 lakes John Merrick Lake once & Edward Lear Lake twice - flat & fast all tarmac one minor incline over a bridge.
