New Walk, Tree-lined promenade in Leicester, England.

New Walk extends for 1,100 meters through Leicester, featuring wide pathways bordered by trees and Georgian buildings set back from the walkway.

The Corporation of Leicester established this pedestrian path in 1785 to connect the city center with the racecourse, now known as Victoria Park.

The walkway connects multiple cultural sites, including the Museum Square with its 1849 neoclassical building and De Montfort Square's Robert Hall statue.

This traffic-free path maintains a consistent width of 10 meters, with buildings positioned at least 9 meters back according to historical regulations.

Gas lighting installations from 1832 and cast-iron street furniture remain preserved along the path, maintaining its Victorian character.
