Sheet Hedges Wood, Leicestershire

Description

This is part of the National Forest and it is a splendid woodland location. Numerous paths lead through the trees, the ones further from the road dating back to the Doomsday Book. An ideal place for dogs to run around.

Walks

There's plenty to see in these woodlands and meadows and they are well supplied with footpaths to follow. The purple walk takes visitors around the newer trees and leads out into the meadows beyond. The more mature woodland has two signed walks (orange and white) but dogs are requested to be kept on lead in this area.

Directions

See directions from your postcode

Eastbound traffic only: from the A50 north west of Leicester, take the turning for Groby and at the junction turn right onto Newtown Linford Lane. Drive past Groby Pool and the pedestrian entrance to the wood is just before the nursery on the right hand side.

The car park is now closed so park on the road, or alternatively in Groby Pool car park on Newtown Linford Lane, then walk up the Lane for ten minutes or so
