Old John Tower

Great historical site with a beautiful view. Great waking trails all around leading through Bradgate Park

Great place for a walk, bit of history, see deers and amazing view from the top. Cafe and souvenir shop is a bonus😁

Nice folly, but that's all. Parking around the park where the Old John is, is paid. Even before 9am! Just a short walk from the parking, and you can be back in 1/2 hour and made pictures too. Nice that it's there but wouldn't drive miles for just the tower.

Very nice experience. It was the second time we went this year. Appropriate for dogs. The cafeteria has got ice cream 🍦 for dogs 🐶 and aluminum water bowls for dogs too. Ideal for hiking, picnic, photography... Loved it

Absolutely brilliant afternoon out. Unbelievable to think this isn’t but a stones throw from Leicester! You are completely transported to another part of the country! Great afternoon with the kids. Forest, castle, lakes (well, reservoirs) and Ice Cream and cakes!! Parking wasn’t bad £4.50 for the day!
