Join me As I walk through some of Leicestershires finest countryside, and we should have it all to ourselves at this hour.
Leaving Woodhouse,we head through countryside and The Lovely village of Swithland and then Swithland Wood on our way to Old John,which is situated on The highest Hill in Bradgate Park.
Old John was erected out of local granite in 1784 to replace an Old dilapidated windmill and was used as a viewing platform for horse racing & Fox Hunts.
After coffee and snacks and Admiring The Night Views over The City of Leicester and far beyond, we head over Lingdale Golf course back To Woodhouse Eaves for A Debrief in The Old Bulls Head.
