Great walks, beacon hill

Calke Abbey is a must visit site for anyone interested in ancient trees. The 1,000 year old Old Man of Calke may be the oldest, but there’s an 800 year old oak just a few metres away. The parkland is full of countless ancient and veteran trees rich in deadwood habitat, which is anything but dead as it’s brimming with saproxylic life.

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.

The reservoir has a plant community on its margins which is unique in the Midlands and only found in a few northern sites. Its unusual mix of flora includes Juncus filiformis at its most southern locations, and the lake itself has native white-clawed crayfish, where it is isolated from the invasive American signal crayfish.

A true natural landmark for the area, situated in one of the quieter areas of Calke.
