Perfect place for a walk, can explore for hours. Roaming deer and peacocks, great views. For the part we walked today we pit stopped at the café after about an hour from the start. A little pricey but plenty of options and alternatively bringing your own picnic would be a popular choice with so much space to choose from. Parking price for under 4 hours was £4, able to pay via card. The book donation wagon is a lovely idea. Able to donate with cash or card and prices are clearly stated. 100% worth visiting for everyone to enjoy.

The park is just beautiful, there’s a huge lake next to it and the landscapes are just surreal. When you go a bit further into the park you’ll also get a chance to see deers which is the highlight of the park. My recent experience was just amazing. Would definitely go again.

Loved this park! Sooo so beautiful to have a nice walk or picnic if the weather holds up. There’s so many ways different routes you can walk, and there’s a nice little cafe you can have lunch or a coffee at. The deer are so beautiful and calm and there’s lots of wildlife around. Highly recommend for a nice day out either alone or with a group/family.

Fantastic views and great walks, loved seeing all the free roaming deer. There's a lovely café at the entrance with great quality food and drinks. No entrance fee makes this a great day out. Multiple routes and several maps around to help. The entire park is enjoyable to walk around if you're looking for an easy accessible place with beautiful views.

What and incredible place! Visit the ruins and the gardens. Take a walk alongside the stream. Or hike up the rocky hills to take in the panoramic views and pay your respects at the war memorial. Deer and Peacocks wonder freely around the grounds. This really is a stunning part of the midlands. When you need to rest your legs you can pop into the cafe to refresh, grab a bite to eat and take bathroom break. There's something for everyone to enjoy regardless of your physical abilities. I came via public transport from Nottingham. The number 9 Kinchbus took me from West Bridgford (Notts) to Loughborough (Auberry Gap stop), and then I got the 154 Centrebus from the Auberry Gap stop to the reservoir at the Bradgate Park. The stop which takes to back to Loughborough is also right next to the reservoir wall. I believe the last bus back to Loughborough is at around 18:30, and then there are multiple late buses back to Nottingham from there
