Prestwold Hall, a Grade I listed country house, has been the seat of the Packe-Drury-Lowe family for nearly 400 years since its acquisition by Sir Christopher Packe in 1649. Rebuilt in the 1760s and extensively remodelled in the 1840s by architect William Burn in a neoclassical Italianate style, the hall features grand, opulent interiors and scenic 18th-century parkland. In the 20th century, the estate became a pioneer in opening historic homes for corporate entertainment and weddings.

Bradgate Park was first enclosed as a deer park (for hunting) in the 12th Century. Herds of Red and Fallow Deer still roam freely across the Park's 800 acres today.The Park is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its importance as a wildlife habitat and its geological interest - the 600 million year old Precambrian rocks here are some of the oldest in England. Bradgate House, built around the year 1500, was one of the first unfortified, brick-built country houses in the country and was the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey and played an important role in the English Civil War. Abandoned in the 18th Century, the house is now an evocative ruin set in a landscape that has changed little since the house's heyday.

This is the Great Pit in Swithland Wood, a site shaped by centuries of slate quarrying, with origins tracing back to Roman times. The quarry was first officially recorded in the 1300s, with activity continuing until the 19th century. Due to the presence of deep water and sheer vertical walls, the quarry is extremely hazardous and completely closed to public access.
