January 28, 2026, St Andrew's Church, Prestwold

St Andrew’s Church is a Grade II* listed, primarily 13th-century medieval building located on the private Prestwold Hall estate, owned by the Packe family since 1653. It serves as a rare remnant of the original medieval village, having survived major renovations in 1743 and 1890, the latter of which remodeled the nave in the Gothic Perpendicular style.

Prestwold Hall, a Grade I listed country house, has been the seat of the Packe-Drury-Lowe family for nearly 400 years since its acquisition by Sir Christopher Packe in 1649. Rebuilt in the 1760s and extensively remodelled in the 1840s by architect William Burn in a neoclassical Italianate style, the hall features grand, opulent interiors and scenic 18th-century parkland. In the 20th century, the estate became a pioneer in opening historic homes for corporate entertainment and weddings.

Cossington Meadow, overseen by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, was once a gravel quarry during the 1980s and 90s. As part of the Leicestershire Round development, the pits were filled with inert waste, some areas were covered with soil and seeded with grass, and deep holes were intentionally left to create lakes. Interpretation boards across the site provide information about the diverse plant and animal life that has established itself in the reserve.

A good place to take a breather and watch the boats. Cotes Road and South Street provide a nice, quiet north - south run avoiding the A6 on the other side of the river.

Traffic lights both sides. Nasty little climb up towards the village that will take the wind out of your sails!

The bridge crosses the River Soar navigation. Located only a stone's throw from the bridge is the Soar Bridge Inn, a traditional pub popular with boaters and walkers attracted by the picturesque scene.

The footpath is slightly convoluted here but you will see posts pointing you back to the main road.
