Or perhaps you just want a clear way of giving someone directions to a location in Leicestershire or just want to show people your Street. Well in this video and the many others I have made, you will be able to take a virtual drive around Leicestershire streets as though you were in the driving seat. I use a dash-mounted camera, Traffic lights and heavy traffic have been edited out. *** This video is not real-time, it is time-lapse *** The real driving time covered is 6 mins 25 secs. At Swannington are the remains of Califat colliery, claimed as the birthplace of Robin Hood!
