Venue Description

Bradgate Park was first enclosed as a deer park around 800 years ago. It provides 830 acres of publicly accessible countryside close to Leicester City Centre. The Park offers a wild and rugged landscape with dramatic rocky outcrops and gnarled old oak trees, many of which are well over 500 years old. The landscape offers some of the finest views, and is rich in change throughout the seasons.

Accessibility

We recognising that the physical nature of the Park and woodlands, means that not all areas will be accessible to everyone, the Trust aims to extend access so far as is reasonably possible. The car parks at Newtown Linford and Hallgates are connected by a tarmac carriageway. We operate Drive Through Schemes on Thursday afternoon and Saturday mornings between April - October. We offer 3 - hour hire of an off road Tramper Our picnic benches have extend ends for wheelchair users. We have portable hearing loops in both tearooms and visitor centre. We have a changing place in our Newtown Linford toilet facilities and an accessible toilet at the Deer Barn. Our tearooms and Visitor Centre are located on ground level. 3D imaging of areas in the Park are available on our social media platform and in time will be added to our website. A volunteer project for the Park.
