Leave M1 at Junction 21. Turn towards Leicester on A563, and then take first slip-road, turning right at the end of it (still on A563) onto Lubbesthorpe Way, heading North. Eventually the road passes under a road bridge, and becomes single carriageway; approx. 1/2 mile further on, at Junction with A47, turn right at traffic island (Hinckley Road). After about another 1/2 mile, the Leisure Centre is on the right - turn right, into Gooding Road, before the Centre, and then left into Car Park.. |
