Beacon Hill Country Park
Great spot for a walk, run, light and easy bouldering, or picnic. Plenty of trails throughout, multiple parking locations, and stunning views of Nottingham and Leicester.There is a cafe at the base car park and toilets at both car park locations. Parking prices are reasonable and perfect for a nighttime stroll.

Beacon Hill is a truly spectacular place offering panoramic views of Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, etc.The Hill itself has wonderful grassland and a top the peak an array of jagged rocks and crevices.There is a car park on site that you can pay to use should you choose to visit via car. Alternatively there are ample bike and hike routes to get to this place.I’d highly recommend a visit on a clear day so that you can really appreciate the views you can get from the peak.

Lovely park to explore and different things to see. There are some beautiful paths with trees lining either side and in the autumn it's just perfect. A few cafes dotted around as well, so plenty of places to stop for a coffee. The park is dog friendly, but they recommend having him on the leash in a lot of areas.Beautiful park with stunning views and I will definitely be coming back.

The views from the top are fantastic, Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and of course Loughborough are all in view. The rocky outcrops at the top are great for exploring and the paths are interesting with a variety of plants and animals to see.

Great day at Beacon Hill today. There are two car parks and facilities at each one. There's also a café at the lower car park serving hot drinks, cakes, pasties and the like. There are two play parks and lots of amazing sculptures around the site. We enjoyed the blue and red trail walks, looking at the hill fort and newly planted native woodland and the incredible views. Loved seeing the highland cattle and alpacas grazing too!

I've been enjoying walking at Beacon Hill Country Park for many years and it just keeps getting better and better. The views and walking routes are fantastic, well maintained and not muddy when wet conditions. There are 2 decent sized car parks, toilets and a reasonably priced cafe. There is a children's playground and picnic tables. The park has some amazing wood carvings and a Labyrinth to explore. A well signed tree trail is another excellent space to explore.

A small but interesting park. Steep climb to the top of the hill ..but fab views across Leicestershire. The rocks are super old and part of ancient volcanic activities. Lovely little cafe and small play area for younger children. Also, a tree walk with interesting facts about our native trees!

Beacon Hill Country Park
One of the best parks in Leicester. Great views, very peaceful and a few nice footpaths to take around the park. It's very similar to Bradgate park in my opinion, which is also very close to this park, you can see it from top of the hill
