To make sure everyone's included, there are two routes to choose from on the day of Memory Walk.

A shorter 2.5km route, which is a gentle stroll around Abbey Park and wheelchair accessible.

The longer 6.5km route will take you around Abbey Park before walking along the banks of the River Soar and past the National Space Centre, and is more challenging with combination of woodland and paved paths.

Please note the route and distance is subject to change, and suitable footwear is recommended.
