Swithland Woods

Swithland Woods is based in Newtown Linford, Leicestershire, and offers a professional and friendly team to help you have a great time and enjoy the experiences available.

Swithland Wood (situated directly across the road on the northern side of Bradgate Park)  was one of the first disposals of the Bradgate Estate by the Grey family in 1921.  It was purchased by a local timber merchant who felled much of the timber. 

To prevent the removal of further timber, and to conserve the Wood as one of the most wildlife rich and attractive woodlands in Leicestershire, The Rotary Club of Leicester launched an appeal for its purchase to ensure public access into the future. 

This appeal was a success and the Club purchased Swithland Wood in 1925 and managed it themselves for a few years.
