SWAP The Peak District FOR Charnwood Forest

Hiding in the gentle uplands between Leicester and Loughborough, Charnwood Forest was the childhood playground of Sir David Attenborough, whose fascination for natural history was embedded right here amongst some of the oldest rocks in Europe. Climb to

Old John in Bradgate Park and you’ll feel like you’re in a national park, even though Leicester is just over there. Likewise Beacon Hill, hovering above Loughborough. Green Planet? It all started here.
