Description

Jubilee Wood comprises ten hectares of mixed woodland with rocky outcrops, and was presented to Leicestershire County Council in 1977 to commemorate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. The site is part of the network of woods to the south west of Loughborough that includes the Outwoods and Beacon Hill. Although this is the newest of these woods, it is maturing well and offers good walking routes across this part of Leicestershire.
