GCR Walking Festival

The Great Central Railway is running a Walking Festival over the Easter Weekend (10-14 April), offering a selection of self guided treasure hunt walks running alongside the line. Walkers join the railway at Loughborough, Quorn or Rothley station, and pick up a leaflet with a walk. They spot the clues on the way and get to the next station - then take the train back! Enthusiasts can walk full circle.

Anyone who completes a walk will get a complimentary cup of tea and one walker with the right answers will be drawn out of the hat to win a pair of Saturday lunchtime dining tickets. There are eight walks to chose from of different lengths. You must buy a travel ticket to receive a walks sheet. Walks will be available from Loughborough, Quorn and Rothley booking offices from Friday morning. Some of the paths on the walks might be muddy, so proper footwear is advised.

The GCR also offers more walks in a dedicated guide, on sale at all stations for £2.99.
