bradgate park march 24

9.2k 182m climb 2h20

Led my Grahame-Friday March 1st and a leisurely ramble around Bradgate park one of Leicestershire finest country parks and know as a Medieval Deer park. Famed for its fascinating geology and ancient oaks with some up to 900 yrs old. Also the 16th century ruins of Lady Jane Greys house who was queen for 9 days. We may even see peacocks.
Very easy walk approx 5 miles max. We can meet at the Bradgate pub in Newtown Linford (LE6 0AE) for say 10am and lunch after at around 2pm

And yes of course there is the obligatory coffee stop just 25 mins in 👍🏽

The forecast was bad but eventually persuaded by accuweather and packing full waterproofs everyone turned out
