It is best to cycle through Bradgate Park quite early as the path through the park can get very busy with pedestrians later in the day, please be prepared to take your time and give pedestrians right of way, you may be asked to dismount on busy days.

Road cycling

From this entrance at Newtown Linford there is a traffic-free, good asphalt drive which descends slowly for 2 miles to the eastern end of the park. But as Ken and others have commented it can get very busy with walkers, especially at weekends. A lovely part of the East Midlands; keep an eye out for the elusive deer.
