This is the third "Ghost Walks" title from author Barbara Wadd. It
includes 30 spooky walks for ramblers and ghost hunters around the
county of Leicestershire, each trail having at least one ghostly
tale to chill your bones. It also includes visits to stately homes
and churches all with a history of unexplained phenomena and
strange events. 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 and, if
you are lucky, an elusive kingfisher may imprint its brilliant hue
on your day. 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.
