근처 마을인 Thornton & Stanton Under Bardon의 구애하는 커플들이 서로 집까지 바래다주던 시절에 이름이 붙여진 것으로 보입니다... 이 숲은 중간 지점이었기 때문에, 그들이 '헤어지던' 곳이었습니다.

Easy starter walk for the long road back to fitness!

Lovely place to be out with family

The Old Post Office Tearooms, is next to the entrance to Bradgate Park, the start and end point of the Leicestershire Round long distance walking route. Once the Village Shop, Café, and Post Office, it transformed into a family-run tearoom offering breakfast, brunch, lunch, and handmade cakes. It’s an excellent way to mark the end of the Leicestershire Round, but bear in mind it closes at 4pm. Dogs are very welcome, and there is outside seating. There’s also a takeout counter should you wish to start your walk with a coffee in hand!
