Horseshoe Lake in Sence Valley Forest Park

Highlight • Lake

Sence Valley Forestry Park, part of the National Forest. A good start point for a walk. There are short walks round the lake and through the woods, this is also the start point for the National Forest Birthday walk.
Good free car park open during daytime, toilets and information board.
My sat nav tried to direct me to an old entrance but easy enough to skirt round from there to the main entrance (keep turning left) if the same happens.

Sence Valley Forest Park

Highlight • Forest

great use of an old open cast coal mine. There is a parking charge, though🙄, but there are toilets and normally a mobile coffee shop, plenty of walks around several lakes

Sence Valley Forest Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

Sence Valley Forest Park is a significant area of woodland planting which has transformed the former opencast coal mining site, in north-west Leicestershire, into a haven for wildlife and visitors. The coal mine closed in 1996 and only two years later 98,000 Corsican pine, larch and poplars trees were planted. Another 100 acres of land was bought in 2018 and this was planted with a range of coniferous and broadleaved trees, as a sustainable forest for the future.
