Impressive ruins of one of England's earliest brick built stately homes, situated within the scenic grounds of Bradgate Park close to the delightful village of Newtown Linford.
The house was was the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey, former Queen of England; information displays around the site explain more about its history.
Significant portions of the walls and towers remain, but perhaps the most impressive survival is the complete Tudor chapel within the walls. While this wasn't open to the public when I visited, it was still worth seeing from the outside.
The park itself is well worth exploring, with a resident deer herd, prominent landmarks in the form of Old John Tower and the Leicestershire Yeomanry War Memorial, and a large expanse of green space interrogatories interspersed with prehistoric rocky outcrops.
There are a number of parking areas and public toilet facilities located near the entrances, and tearooms near by the reservoir and Newtown Linford entrance.

Beautifully preserved park. A lot of deer around. An idealic place to relax, unwind and enjoy nature. Plenty of parking around. Be mindful that there are a lot of deer and dog droppings. So, bring a picnic blanket if you want to lay around. There are park benches and clean walk ways too. Overall, it's what you expect nature to be.

Great tour of this beautiful palace ruin, by a very lovely and knowledgeable historian. This building is saturated with magic, history and mystery. I would recommend a visit to everyone.

Beautiful park with interesting walks. The ruins of Lady Jane Grey's family home are virtually in the middle of the park surrounded by oak trees and sweeping landscapes. A great day out for a long rambling walk. Dogs are welcome but need to be kept on a lead as there are deer roaming free throughout the park. If you are in the mood for an energetic walk, take the route up to "Old John". From here there are spectacular views of Leicestershire. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous! Such an interesting piece if history and archaeology! Check before going as to whether the ruins are open or not but don't always trust the Internet as sometimes it says the ruins are closed when they are in fact open! You can usually count on them being open at weekends in spring and summer! There are some fabulous informative volunteer guides who are happy to answer questions. Tricky terrain for wheelchairs but pushchairs would be fine!

While visiting Bradgate Park we visited Bradgate House which was very interesting and educational too. We where warmly welcomed at the gates , entry is free , and we explored freely around ruins and grounds . Chapel was beautiful and we got more info about Greys family and Lady Jane Grey who was Queen for only 9 days. Very interesting part of heritage and history of Lancashire . Would definitely recommend visit. On side of house is Garden that is open 12-3pm on Sundays and public can go in and pick some tomatoes etc we where late so didn’t go in.
