- Dog Notes:
Beacon Hill Country Park in Leicestershire is extremely popular for dog walking, offering extensive and varied areas for dogs to explore. Dogs can often be off-lead in many parts of the parkland, heathland, and woodland, but ensure they have excellent recall due to the presence of grazing livestock (sheep and cattle are common for conservation grazing – dogs MUST be on leads near them), steep slopes, rocky outcrops, and other walkers. Be mindful of adders on heathland in warmer months. Please clean up after your dog; bins are provided at car parks and key points. This Leicestershire park is a dog walker's delight with responsible ownership.
