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

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.

Memorial Wood is an area of woodland to the side of the accessible carriage way that crosses the Park. It offers a tranquil setting overlooking Cropston Reservoir and is reached by a natural stone path. Rich in native wildlife species, the area is bound by traditional metal deer fencing, has seating and a central sculpture of a stag, set on a natural stone plinth.

Swithland Wood (situated directly across the road on the northern side of Bradgate Park) was one of the first disposals of the Bradgate Estate by the Grey family in 1921. It was purchased by a local timber merchant who felled much of the timber. To prevent the removal of further timber, and to conserve the Wood as one of the most wildlife rich and attractive woodlands in Leicestershire, The Rotary Club of Leicester launched an appeal for its purchase to ensure public access into the future.

This is a pollarded tree, like many in the park.

Bardon Hill is the highest point in Leicestershire (278m) and reputedly on a clear day the Malvern and Shropshire Hills (approx. 50–60 miles), summits in Derbyshire (approx. 30–40 miles) and Lincoln Cathedral (almost 50 miles away) can be seen. Excitingly, Bardon Hill is part of the eroded remains of a volcano. At its summit are a trig point and a radio mast.

Beacon Hill takes its name from its history as a signalling point.  Many times over the centuries a beacon has been lit near the summit to give warning or commemorate an important national event.

Great walks and veiws from the top Great cafe

Great place for MTB however might be busy when the weather is good. Limited trials available for cyclists and horse ridings so be careful and not speed downhill especially.

Personally i love this tree, its one of many in the park that have been damaged by lightning over the centuries, but this one in particular has always stood out every time i visit.

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.
