Bradgate Park - FULL VIDEO TOUR (Leicestershire, England)
Bradgate Park is pretty much THE park of Leicester! No trip to Bradgate Park is complete without swimming in the 'no swim' areas and stumbling up to visit Old John; which sits predominently on the top of the hill in the park. They have a new addition to the park now, a small museum which was opened by David Attenborough himself!
Bradgate Park (local pronunciation: /ˌbrædɡʌt/) is a public park in Charnwood Forest, in Leicestershire, England, northwest of Leicester. It covers 850 acres (340 hectares). The park lies between the villages of Newtown Linford, Anstey, Cropston, Woodhouse Eaves and Swithland. The River Lin runs through the park, flowing into Cropston Reservoir which was constructed on part of the park. To the north-east lies Swithland Wood. The park's two well known landmarks, Old John and the war memorial, both lie just above the 210 m (690 ft) contour.
Address: Newtown Linford LE6 0HE, UK
Park set in 830 acres, with footpaths, a stream, a playground plus roaming peacocks and fallow deer.

A quick tour of Bradgate Country Park, Newtown Linford, Leicestershire.
Bradgate Park was once the estate of the Greys of Groby. Sir John Grey (1432 - 1461) began the construction of Bradgate House, the ruins of which can still be seen today. His great-granddaughter, Lady Jane Grey , was Queen of England for 9 days during July, 1553. Lady Jane was deposed by Mary I and imprisoned in the Tower of London. She was executed for treason on February 12th, 1554 after a failed attempt by her supporters to restore her to the throne.
The folly know as Old John stands on a ridge some 690 feet above sea-level overloking the park, and is probably Leicestershire's best known landmark. It was built in 1748 as an observation tower to give the ladies a view of the race course which once circled the hill. The name Old John was given to the tower later, in memory of an old retainer who died accidentally when a bonfire collapsed during birthday celebrations near the tower.
In 1925 the Park was put up for sale by the Grey family. It was purchased by Charles Bennion (a co-founder of British United Shoe Machinery Co. Ltd, and resident of Leicester) and presented in trust to the people of Leicestershire on December 29th, 1928. Since then, Bradgate Park has been one of the most popular attractions in Leicestershire and now attracts more than one million visitors each year.

Bradgate Park. (Wild Deer) Leicester. July 2012
Went to Bradgate Country Park, Leicester (Cropston Reservoir entrance). Got some great footage of herds of Red and Fallow Deer, the ruins of 16th Century Bradgate House/Tudor Mansion including the tomb inside the Chapel. There were hundreds of visitors soaking up the sun! I'd recommend it to everyone!
