Burrough Hill Country Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Situated between Burrough on the Hill and Somerby, south of Melton Mowbray, Burrough Hill Country Park is a significant and well-preserved Iron Age hill fort.

Tip by

11.5 km

An off-road trail that is probably only usable in good weather. Well worth the detour if the sun is shining as it cuts through some lovely countryside and sees very little traffic (serving the farm at the south end).
