Coleorton Village Heritage Trail

The Coleorton 2000 Committee launched the Coleorton Village Heritage Trail on Saturday 3rd September at Viscount Beaumont School.

The Chair of Coleorton 2000 Committee, Mrs Elaine Oldham, told us about the work of the Committee and how the Heritage Trail had evolved and thanked various organisations, inc the parish council, for their financial support. She was joined by three local dignitaries to formally launch the Coleorton Village Heritage Trail:

Andrew Bridgen, MP for NW Leicestershire
Jackie Dickinson, Chairman of Leicestershire County Council
and Nigel Smith, Chairman of NWLDC

The event was well attended with groups going on guided walks for some or all of the trail. Tea and very lovely home-made cakes were enjoyed in return for a donation to Coleorton 2000 funds. Heritage Trail leaflets with map can be obtained from heritagewarden@coleorton.org.uk. You can also download the brochure as a pdf from here (2MB) >>
