Path through Swithland Wood
This path leads to the car park on Roecliffe Road.
Swithland Wood is Leicestershire's most important ancient woodland for nature conservation. It has been a public woodland since 1925, and covers an area of 61 hectares (150 acres). There are several old quarries within the wood that were a source of the Swithland Slate roofs found on many local buildings as well as the slate gravestones common in Leicestershire churchyards.
