You should be warned that some of the ghosts are more 'hands on' so you may be pinched or pushed, slapped or have your clothes tugged. You may be locked in a room or shut in a freezer and you may even receive three cold kisses! You will visit some of the less frequented parts of Derbyshire, experiencing the rich diversity of its scenery, from gentle valleys to panoramic viewpoints. On these quieter paths, you will find wildlife undisturbed by the tramp of many feet. Kestrels hover over pastures, jays and woodpeckers may be glimpsed in woodland, buntings chirp from uncut hedges, and, if you are lucky, on three of the walks, a kingfisher may imprint its brilliant hue on your day. The walks include visits to famous halls, houses and castles and a number of fascinating churches. There is information about parking, toilets and refreshment stops and good maps.

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.
