    aboutSectionText

    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.

    Bradgate Park

    Bradgate Park is part of the national trust charity and is well known for the free roaming deer and 830 acres that is publically accessible. . The lower area of the park has a tarmac pathway and is easily accessible and suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs, with scenic views and the River Lin that runs through the lower park that has become a favourite for picnic areas. There are two café one in the Newtown Linford car park and the other in the middle of the park, these are both wheelchair accessed and are purposed built with a hoist in the Newtown Linford disabled toilet and handrails. A new off road mobility scooter has been issued to the park called a tramper. This is free of charge however booking is essential which a phone call to the Estate office is. The tramper can be collected from the car park following a completion of the registration and safety instructions that can take 20 minutes. This allows access over other areas that cannot be covered by a standard wheelchair.
