Forest Rock Cave

Highlight • Structure

Woodhouse Eaves Cave.

This is the remains of an old quarry called 'The Stone Hole' above the rock face you may notice the top of the church tower, this church was built from the stone from this quarry. In the right-hand corner of the rock face is the entrance to a man-made cave that was created by mining the slate from here as it was of decent quality and easily worked.

Highlight • Trail

Beacon Hill Country Park, close to Woodhouse Eaves, is owned and managed by Leicestershire County Council. Rising to a height of 245m, Beacon Hill is one of the highest points in Leicestershire and boasts spectacular views of Charnwood Forest and the Soar Valley. Covering 128ha, the Country Park consists of mixed woodland, grassland, open heathland, wetlands and rocky outcrops. It has a range of interesting features that await any visitor.

The Country Park supports an important range of plants and animals, and is part of the 'Beacon Hill, Hangingstone and Outwoods' Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The management of the park aims to balance public access with the need to maintain and enhance the habitats for which the site is important. As a result, Beacon Hill Country Park was the recipient of the 1996 English Nature Award for Management.

The Labyrinth

Highlight • Trail

A great spot for the kids to burn off the remaining energy after walking up the hill. This area is full of winding duck boarding, and you have to bob and weave between trees and bushes, there's wood sculptures too. It reminds of a dark fairy-tale forest.
