URPoint Details
Nine hundred and twelve feet high, tree-studded, granite blocked Bardon Hill is the highest point in the county and from its summit the vast panorama of the Shropshire and Derbyshire hills is open out.
To the north, the broken uplands of Charnwood Forest are revealed at the foot of which runs the road to Ashby through Whitwick.
In primeval days, the forest was so thick that it is said that a man could walk from Beaumanor to Bardon without seeing the sun.
Some magnificent countryside near Cademan Wood, High Sharpley and Blackbrook Reservoir.
