Beacon Hill is a country park near Loughborough and one of several hills of that name across the UK. It sits in the rugged, rocky part of Charnwood Forest, with a short climb to a viewpoint over the Midlands. It is a good quick stop that feels wilder than the flat country around.

Good to know

  • The summit is a short climb from the car park
