Public Access to Garendon Country Park
Public Access to Garendon Country Park
You can walk or cycle through the existing lane from Coe Avenue in Thorpe Acre to Butthole Lane in Shepshed.
You can also enter the Park by foot, cycle at the Snells Nook gate. The Arrivabus stops nearby, but there is no car parking here yet.
The old Coach Road from Shepshed is normally, accessed from Cumbrian Way and leads to the main Estate Road, past the Triumphal Arch.
If you are arriving by car please find place to park where you are not inconveniencing residents, particularly avoid parking on Coe Avenue.
The map opposite is one we have produced from the earlier map provided by Persimmon.
There is no car park yet. Note however that the main entrance at Snells Nook is reached by Arriva bus services 127 and 16.
