Swithland Woods, situated halfway between Loughborough and Leicester, covers 146 acres, with a huge variety
of trees, mostly oak with some alder, ash, birch and lime.
The woods are currently owned by Bradgate Park Trust which was established in 1929 when Bradgate Park was
given to the people of the County. Swithland Woods were added to this gift in 1931 when they were bought for
the County by Leicester Rotary Club.
