Bradgate Park

Few things say 'romance' like a frolic in the woods amidst the deer, and this is precisely what Bradgate Park, in Newton Linford, offers. Located less than ten miles from the Bosworth Hall Hotel, this park is part of Charnwood Forest, and boasts all of the best features of the British countryside, combining scenic woods and river lands with uncommon wildlife and even architectural landmarks. Couples on a romantic break in the Midlands can therefore lose themselves amidst the natural beauty, and enjoy a romantic stroll or cycle around this highly romantic park. Bradgate Park is definitely a must-see for couples on an intimate break in Warwickshire!

Ashby-de-la-Zouch Castle

Hidden away at the bottom of a lane, within walking distance of the Ashby-de-la-Zouch main street, this English Heritage protected castle is a highly romantic spot to visit on a day trip. While mostly ruined, the castle does feature a wholly intact tower, which visitors are allowed to climb and from where they can take in some stunning views of the surrounding countryside. There is also an underground tunnel to explore, for couples wanting to add a sense of mystery to their romantic day-trip. All in all, however, this little-known but highly appealing castle is well worth the nine-mile trip from the Bosworth Hall hotel!

Hicks Lodge National Forest Cycle Centre

While the area surrounding Bosworth Hall has no shortage of parks and natural spaces in which to stroll or hike, the Hicks Lodge National Forest Cycle Centre stands out for being particularly cycle, hike and horse-riding friendly, making for an excellent active day out for couples staying at that hotel. Though getting there from Bosworth does entail a nine-mile drive, the effort is well worth undertaking, as couples will find a marvellous, sprawling area to explore either on foot or on their bicycles. The park is also a prime location for dog-walkers in the area, so couples bringing their pet to Bosworth Hall might find it worth a visit as well.

Garlands Leisure

Adventure and physical activity can be just as romantic as intimate moments, and Garlands Leisure is a choice spot for couples looking to create lasting memories by sharing an active day out in the elements. Based on a farm some 6 or 7 miles from Bosworth Hall, this facility offers a choice of sport and adventure activities to try out, ranging from archery to clay pigeon shooting and off-road karting. Couples wanting to share a day of adventurous outdoor fun will therefore be spoiled for choice, and almost certain to find something to suit their fancy!

These are only a few of the many, many romantic and scenic destinations couples staying at Bosworth Hall can visit to create some lasting joint memories. Not only that, they serve as proof that our Market Bosworth hotel is one of the best destinations in the Britannia catalogue for couples looking to enjoy a romantic Valentine's getaway!
