Burbage Visit – Thursday 4th July

Our second visit for 2024 was an afternoon walking tour of the attractive town of Burbage, near Hinckley on 4th July. Hosted by the Burbage Heritage Group, 18 of us enjoyed learning about the history, stories and characters from the town’s past and seeing a variety of architectural styles. Click here to see other photos from the visit. The walk followed their published heritage trail (see: https://www.burbageheritage.co.uk/trail.html for further details).
