Beacon Hill is a tremendous viewpoint and the second highest peak in Leicestershire. It showcases spectacular views of Charnwood Forest, the Soar Valley and beyond.

Situated just 2 miles from the M1 motorway and a stone's throw away from Loughborough, the peak offers superb accessibility for those seeking fabulous views with minimal effort.

A fantastic small hill to climb in the heart if Charnwood, great views 360 degrees across the entire area, can be a busy trail on weekends and holidays, but there are plenty of routes up and down to choose from.
