Somerby Festival of Walking 
 

Somerby Festival of Walking 2026 will take place on Friday 15th to Sunday 17th May.  

In July 2026, in collaboration with the Leicestershire and Rutland Festival of Archaeology there will be a guided walk of Burrough Hill in its landscape with the expert archaeologists that carried out recent excavations at the hillfort.

Somerby is a small rural village in High Leicestershire, an area of rolling hills and quiet valleys set with small picturesque villages and farms.  It is a quiet rural area with an extensive network of country lanes, tracks, footpaths and bridleways and panoramic views across open countryside from Burrough Hill iron-age hill fort.

Let us welcome you to our beautiful part of High Leicestershire. Come and stay, enjoy a weekend of lovely free-of-charge  country walks led by local volunteers and why not treat yourself at one of our award winning local pubs.

Somerby is found between Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire and Oakham in Rutland.
