Overview

A walk of about 10.5 miles with about 1400 feet of ascent through Bradgate, and Beacon Hill Country Parks. We walk through open countryside, woodland, and climb the second highest hill in Leicestershire with extensive views in all directions. After lunch on Beacon Hill, we return to Bradgate Country Park visiting Old John Tower and The Leicestershire Yeomanry War Memorial on the way.

The parking fee at Newton Linford car park is £5.50. Payable by card or cash.

There are free toilets at the start / finish and at lunch time.

If you are going to join us and are traveling independently to Newton Linford, would you please let us know so that we don’t set off without you.
