Parking:

Parking for Grace Dieu Woods and Priory in Leicestershire is typically very limited and informal. There may be small lay-bys or on-street parking in nearby hamlets like Grace Dieu itself or on minor roads providing access to public footpaths leading into the woods and to the priory site (which is often on private land but with permissive access to the ruins). There isn't usually a large dedicated car park. Park considerately, respecting local residents and ensuring no access is blocked when visiting this Leicestershire historical site. Some access may be from near Grace Dieu Manor School.
