Some sights from Borough Hill Fort, Leicestershire

The other day I took the little one for a stroll around Borough Hill fort in Leicestershire. If anywhere in Leicestershire could be counted as upland than this place could. The windswept slopes offer tremendous views across the landscape.This is the view to the north.


This is the view to the south.
This is the view back to the city of Leicester.

On the distant western horizon Bradgate Park was clearly visible.

Though less distinctive the distant shape of Beacon Hill could also be seen.
To the East we spotted this windmill, but haven't as yet been able to locate it on the map.
*Note. I've found it now. It is in the village of Whissendine.
