Take time out to enjoy Leicester’s parks and open spaces. Try out our outdoor gyms or explore Leicester’s riverside, heading south from the city centre to enjoy the tranquillity of Aylestone Meadows, or north to discover gems like Abbey Park. Venture outside the City and you'll find fantastic open spaces, like the deer-filled Bradgate Park & the spectacular National Forest
Bradgate Park, renowned for its fine herds of deer, is the only remaining enclosed medieval deer park in the East Midlands and contains the oldest rocks in England.
Hugging the banks of the River Soar in the north of the city is Abbey Park – a beautiful green space to relax and admire Leicester’s riverside scenery.
