New Walk, Leicester

New Walk is a promenade in the city of Leicester which connects the areas around Victoria Park (including Stoneygate, Evington, and Clarendon Park) to the city centre.

[2] A number of buildings sit along New Walk, including office buildings for the Leicester Mercury, Leicester Museum & Art Gallery, and Holy Cross Priory.

The original plan for the route was to connect the area, which is now Welford Road, to the then-racecourse, which was later developed into Victoria Park.

The houses were built at a distance, set by the corporation, of 'no less than 10 yards' from the path.

A number of controversies regarding the use of the promenade by cyclists have arisen in recent years.
