Morcott Churchyard
Selected Wild Place / Other Wild Places / Public Rights of Way / VC55 boundary
Morcott is just off the A47 and is seven miles south-east of Oakham. Morcott churchyard is in the centre of a triangle of roads - Church Lane, School Lane, and the larger High Street.
By car, exit the A47 onto either Stamford Road, and immediately turn left onto High Street, or onto the unnamed lane to the west by the services, and turn right onto High Street at the T junction. The church will be clearly visible on the north side on the road.
Limited roadside parking is available on the High Street and some residential lanes, but please be mindful of locals and signage.
The nearest bus stops are on High Street, by Willoughby Road. The services are 4R (CallConnect - only stops at Weares Close), 12 and 47 (both Centrebus).
