Outdoors

Leicester and the beautiful surrounding countryside offer the perfect reason to get outside. You can explore idyllic hillsides to relish the magnificent views, discover a wide network of heritage and nature trails and wander through woodland habitats. 

From country parks to ancient woodlands, long distance footpaths to short trails, you’ll find lakes, ponds and wildflower meadows, and several sites of national historical significance. All are abundant in wildlife. 

It’s easy to reach your chosen spot by car or public transport and once you arrive walking or cycling is a great way to really explore. 

So, get outdoors, fill your lungs with fresh air and walk, run, cycle or paddle your way around.
