Anstey Tourist Information |
|
Anstey's role as a southern gateway to the Charnwood Forest is shown by the 15th century Packhorse Bridge, just a mere 5 feet wide, straddling Rothley River. There are claims that Ned Ludd, who lent his name to the 19th century Luddites, came from Anstey. Ned Ludd's Day (which hasn't been celebrated for a few years) is supposed to be on April 28th each year! When visiting Anstey, you might want to take the Centenary Walk, which is over 6 miles long and includes the following: Maps for the walk are available from Anstey Parish Council or Leicestershire County Council.
