A563 road

The A563 is the designation for Leicester's outer ring road, in England.

Starting at the A6 in Oadby (52°36′21″N 1°05′37″W / 52.6058°N 1.0937°W / 52.6058; -1.0937 (A563 road (A6 junction))), the road progresses clockwise, passing between Knighton and Wigston (crossing the A5199 Welford Road), then to the south of Aylestone (crossing the A426), then turning north by Fosse Shopping Park. It runs between M1, passing the A47 and then the A50. At Beaumont Leys it turns eastward.

Nearly directly north of the city it comes to the Red Hill Circle, near the River Soar, where it meets the A6030 "ring-road", and the A6 again. It then passes east, and then south until it meets the A47 (52°38′16″N 1°04′24″W / 52.6377°N 1.0732°W / 52.6377; -1.0732 (A563 road (A47 junction))).

Here the signposted ring road ends. There is no section linking the A6 in Oadby with the A47 in Goodwood. Traffic can continue straight on at the A47 junction down the Goodwood road, (or go via the A47 and Spencefield Lane) and then proceed by a variety of routes to the A6 (by Evington to Stoughton Drive and then Stoughton Road, meeting the A6 considerably further in than Oadby), or can pass at Evington village onto the backroad Shady Lane, and then proceed by Stoughton Road into Oadby, meeting the A6 further out.
