Beacon Hill Country Park

About this park

Beacon Hill Country Park, near Loughborough, Leicestershire, offers magnificent views, woodland walks, and a rich history, making it a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Dogs are welcome throughout the park, though owners should be mindful of grazing livestock, including cattle, sheep, and alpacas, particularly during summer months when they frequent the upper areas. The diverse terrain of woodlands, heathland, and meadows provides varied sniffing opportunities and routes for all energy levels, from gentle strolls to more strenuous hikes along multi-use tracks. Explore trails through ancient woodlands, keeping an eye out for bluebells in spring and vibrant autumn colours. The park features a network of paths for pedestrians, as well as multi-use tracks suitable for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders. Bins are available, but owners should be extra vigilant, keeping dogs under close control or on a lead when livestock are present. Facilities include two paid car parks (one contactless, one cash only), toilets, and a picnic area. The Beacon Hill Kitchen Deli offers refreshments. The park is open daily from dawn, with closing times varying seasonally. It's a wonderful spot for a dog walk, combining natural beauty with historical intrigue.
