So last week, my boyfriend and I took Cassie (my boyfriend's beautiful doggy) to Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. If you've never been, it's a beautifully picturesque park (a very big park in fact!) located near to Loughborough and Woodhouse Eaves. We had a quick trip to Asda on the way to get some picnic supplies for all of us (even miniature carrot batons and cherry tomatoes for Cassie). We took a lovely, big picnic blanket and plenty of suncream and water and set off on our journey.
Luckily for us it was a lovely summers day and the sun was shining bright and hot (a bit too hot for me!) We parked up and paid for three hours parking and started our relaxing stroll to find a good picnic spot. We sat about halfway up the hill towards Old John Tower on a flat area surrounded by rocks, which was great until we realised we were sat right underneath the sun with no shade - doh!
So after we had eaten most of our (quite large) picnic, we took Cassie around the park for three hours and visited their Deer Sanctuary and the ruins of Bradgate House. It was an amazing day, especially because I managed to get so close to the herd of Deer! If you haven't been then I definitely recommend it for all people that love the outdoors, dog-walking or you could even take your children or younger siblings! Anyway, here are more photos from my visit...
If you want more information or want to know how to get to Bradgate Park, then they have loads of info on their website! http://www.bradgatepark.org/1/Bradgate_Park_and_Swithland_Wood_Country_Park/
