Our favourite walks of recent years have been at Bradgate Park. Less than 10 minutes in the car from our house it is a popular destination for what seems like the whole of Leicestershire. It makes up for this with a great path (suitable for all weathers), rocks for climbing, ducks, ruins and being in a beautiful village.
With Mr B and I having grown up in Leicestershire it holds many memories - rock climbing as children, picnics whilst dating and daydreaming, walks with a newborn and more recently walks with a toddler.
Today was a quick visit, whilst the weather held, which allowed us to don the wellies, get some fresh air and climb some rocks.
We ended off the trip with a visit to a new little deli (The Grey Lady Kitchen & Deli) in the village for a lovely lunch and cake. We will definitely be going back there for the great food, relaxed and child friendly atmosphere (there is even a dedicated playroom upstairs!).
Two hours later, once the hail storm had stopped, we headed home.
Another great day inspired by Country Kids!
What a wonderful park, picturesque and with plenty of exploring to do. At least you managed to get out in between the awful weather and the deli sounds like a perfect spot for some lunch with little ones. Thanks for linking up and sharing your family fun with Country Kids.
