Beacon Hill Country Park - FULL VIDEO TOUR (Leicestershire, England)
Beacon Hill Country Park! A nice park offers great views of Loughborough, Leicestershire and also Derbyshire!
Address: Woodhouse Eaves, Loughborough LE12 8SP, UK
Beacon Hill, near Loughborough, in Leicestershire, England, is a popular country park. It is one of several beacon hills in the United Kingdom.
The park consists of over 135 hectares (330 acres) of grassland and woodland and offers recreational walking, and some short climbs. With a maximum height of 248 metres (814 ft), it is the second highest point in Leicestershire after Bardon Hill.
An extinct volcano, in Whitwick, 4 miles (6 km) to the west, was responsible for the fine-grained igneous rocks that the hill consists of. Beacon Hill was the site of a Bronze Age hill fort. Today a toposcope indicates landmarks which can be seen from the summit. These include Lincoln Cathedral and the hills of the Peak District.
Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station is aligned so that, seen from the summit, only two of its eight cooling towers are visible.
On a clear day Belvoir Castle can be seen as well as the hills in the Peak District. Derby, Nottingham, and the tower of Lincoln Cathedral can be seen with a pair of binoculars. Loughborough is seen below the hill as is Beaumanor Hall. You can also hear and see steam trains on the Great Central Railway which has stations at Loughborough, Quorn and Woodhouse.
It was featured on the 2005 TV programme Seven Natural Wonders as one of the wonders of the Midlands. There are some very interesting rocks on the summit.
Nearby are two small woods both accessible to the public. Jubilee Wood is 2 miles (3 km) north-west of the lower Beacon hill car park on the Woodhouse Eaves to Nanpantan road and the Outwoods which is adjacent to Jubilee Wood.
The park has been awarded the Green Flag Award.

Native Tree Collection - Beacon Hill Country Park Leicestershire
Surfaced paths wind through this woodland of native trees near to the Lower Beacon Hill Car Park. There are many sound boxes with poetry recordings made by a local school. Why not come and take a stroll. This quiet little haven could be anywhere, but you occationally get glimpses of Loughborough town in the distance to gently remind you where you are.
