Archaeology of Bradgate Guided Walk

Departure from: The main gate in our Newtown Linford car park.
Postcode: LE6 0HB
Duration: Approx. 2 hours.

Because the land at Bradgate has never been subject to modern farming methods, traces of its 15,000 year history of human occupation still remain and are now yielding up their secrets to archaeologists.

Join a Bradgate Park Ranger for a journey through the Park’s extensive and varied archaeology – from the Stone Age to the Second World War.

A highlight of the walk will be the Late Upper Paleolithic site at Little Matlock, one of only two of its type ever discovered in the UK.

• This walk will involve walking over uneven and potentially weather affected ground.
• It will take place irrespective of weather conditions.
• Appropriate clothing and footwear are therefore recommended.
• Car Parking charges apply and are not included in ticket price.
• Dogs are allowed but must be held on leads at all times during this walk.

Please be aware, we have volunteer photographers who record events on behalf of the Park, the images may be used for Park Archives and for future marketing purposes for example via our website and social media.
