Bradgate Park

BRADGATE PARK is a historic former Medieval Deer Park created from

Charnwood Forest and was first enclosed as a hunting park around 800

years ago. For many centuries, it formed part of the Leicestershire 

Estates of the Grey family and the Earls of Stamford. Even now, 

though only six miles from the centre of Leicester, certain areas 

look much as they must have done in the Middle Ages.
