The B568 is a short link road in Leicester. It was originally unclassified but had gained Class II status by the mid-1940s.
It starts near the University at traffic lights on the A5199 Welford Road, to the south of the city centre. From here it runs northeastward along Victoria Park Road, with the park itself on the left-hand side and housing to the right. It ends at a roundabout junction with the A6 London Road. Mayfield Road, on the far side of the roundabout, continues the route's northeastward direction, but the number changes here to B6416.
