Not too far from us a country park known as Beacon Hill. Boxing day was wet and the park has a lot of dry access.
Taking the outer route avoids all the Sunday afternooners.
The view of Loughborough from the trig point at the top of the hill.

Near to the lower car park is a grove of Rhododendrons. A boardwalk cuts a circular path through it.
After a walk it's drink time. What better place could you choose for a good old fashioned cuppa? This is in the local steam preservation station at Quorn. A museum of world war two train travel. It costs more than a ha'penny for a Tea nowadays though :)
