ニュータウンリンフォードでののおすすめランニングルート

in memory

Lovely place to be out with family

Cycling is only permitted on the one route through the park, which gets busy with walkers, take it slow in the park. Cafe and toilets in the middle.

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.

Never saw this tree ..but saw plenty of trees on this hike

Nice little parking spot..plenty of places even at mid day

Lovely spot and great views

Just a small diversion from the delightful but popular (ie busy) drive running along the south side of Bradgate Park.
