The Thurmaston - Waterside Inn Route
8.4 Kilometres or 5.2 Miles in old money !
Downstream route through Birstall, Cossington & Sileby ...
Another very good introduction into the nature of The River Soar, a Downstream route... It has several weirs to navigate (or portage!), a winding river section going through Birstall Watermead Park & Past Sileby Mill etc. It's has open sections of the river which eventually takes you back to The Waterside Inn...
