Site of Heather & Ibstock station. View westward, towards Heather on the B591 from Ibstock: the station had been in the dip ahead. It was on the ex-LNWR & Midland Joint (Ashby & Nuneaton) line from Nuneaton via Shackerstone (to left) to Coalville and Loughborough (right), the Charnwood Forest line. The station closed 13/4/31, but the line remained for goods until 7/10/63.
Sence valley, Ibstock. #takeahike
A beautiful summer's day. Then this cloud passed over. Sence valley plays to every mood each time I visit. I love where I live.
Horseshoe Lake Looking north over this bow-shaped lake at the centre of the forest park.
Gatehouse at Heather Hall - 1 On the south side of Swepstone Road, the gates lead to Heather Hall and have a sign reading 'Private'. The public footpath just behind the gatehouse is also pretty much inaccessible. Mysterious place!

Great location on campus with a nice bar and restaurant. Rooms were slightly more functional but comfortable and all we needed. Would definitely stay again, and the price was good.

Good hotel with many facilities on site for young families - presumably comes into its own with improving weather. We just needed a room and breakfast and it did that with ease.
