Leicester (2)



Here I am Rune
Distance 0 miles
Total 1467 Locks 72 Tunnels
Running total mileage 2102.6 miles

A day spent exploring around Leicester including the visit to Welford Road cemetery to try to locate some ancestors graves, not an entirely successful enterprise although we did find one group of family graves.
Tomb of Richard III

Later we wandered into Leicester City Centre who are clearly marketing their links with Richard III heavily. We went into the cathedral to view the tomb and also to appreciate the Cathedral itself and then a walk around the nearby streets which are now all pedestrianised, the crew remembers them as traffic choked so it’s a bit of an improvement.

Tomorrow probably on to Kilby Bridge.
