This morning I have just completed my first draft of the Leicester Ring Interactive Map, these take a lot of work and I am sure I have probably missed a lot of interesting locations, so as always still more work to do, but please take a look, always looking for recommendations.
This map joins the our maps of The Avon Ring and The Cheshire Ring with more in the works.
