The Midshires Way is a long distance bridleway and footpath across Middle England

It is approximately 225 miles long. It links the Ridgeway with the Trans-Pennine Way, thus opening up the possibilities of a long walk or ride along the length of England. The Leicestershire section is about 30 miles long.

For the most part, the Midshires Way follows public bridleways or quiet country lanes. Wherever possible on road sections, alternative footpath routes have been waymarked to assist walkers.
