amazing!!!

Beautiful surrounding countryside leading to the Park which was part of Lady Jane Greys home grounds. It has a Brook running through the park and Deer rome freely amongst the people if they wish to. I would say the only negative point would be the parking fee, however this is now a common thing when frequenting British Parks etc.

Bradgate Park is a really lovely place and is steeped in so much history - Lady Jane Grey lived here as a child.

It used to be free, until about 8 years ago when a £1 fee was imposed and now it is £2 for 2 hrs I think - I think this is quite steep personally, although it goes towards upkeep. We hope it does anyway.

There are many walks, but my favourite is to start at Old John and do a full circuit down towards Newtown Lindford and back. It takes a couple of hours, but is more 'off road' that the flat path at Newtown Lindford.

A cafe opended a coupke of years ago - my experience was poor quality cake at £3.00 per slice I afraid.

Bradgate Park is a lovely place for the locals to have on the doorstep and I have many memories of fishing in the streams and eating ice creams there!

Bradgate is Leicestershire's largest country park. It's great for a day out - it's huge so there are lots of different walks you can do, of varying lengths. There are deer, ducks etc to add interest and even the ruins of Bradgate House where you sometimes see peacocks.

You have to pay a few pounds for car parking, but this does go towards the upkeep of the park.

A great place for dog walking or a family day out.
