Stanton Lakes

10 3 reviews

Dog-friendly, adults-only site by a lake on the edge of Stoney Stanton
A 20-minute drive to Leicester and the Bosworth Battlefield site
Lakeside restaurant/bar on site; open-water swimming in summer

Looking for a Leicestershire site where you can indulge a love of watersports? Stanton Lakes, an adults-only place on the edge of Stoney Stanton, could be the place for you… One of the big attractions around here for adventurous types is the UK’s national diving centre at Stoney Cove – it’s within easy walking distance for those planning some scuba diving training. And if you’re not quite looking to get down that deep in the water? Open-water swimming is available twice a week at Stanton Lakes itself during the summer (you’ll need to book ahead for these sessions; please note no-one is allowed in the lake unless taking part in organised swimming sessions). There are no rules to say you have to be in the water to enjoy it, of course – you’re most welcome simply to take a stroll around the main lake and wildlife pond on site. Or how about soaking up the scenery while installed at a terrace table outside the lakeside bar with a coffee or something stronger in hand? The attached Peppervine restaurant is the place to be if you’re in need of feeding – it serves up a wide range of tasty tapas plates during the week and substantial Sunday roasts at the weekend (booking recommended). Facilities on site have been well thought out: the modern toilet and shower block is accessible and well lit, there’s a fresh water supply by the entrance and the chemical waste disposal point has been discreetly placed within the bins area. If you’re here at the weekend, keep an eye out for remote-controlled stock car racing events at the small track by the site – they run on certain Friday evenings and Sundays for a bit of high-speed local entertainment.

Local attractions

For an easy way to stretch your legs, take a stroll up to Stoney Stanton for its pub, shops and takeaways – it’s about a mile away with footpaths running up there for a pleasant wander. Other places to get out for a walk nearby include Fosse Meadows Country Park (five minutes' drive) and Bouskell Park (10 minutes), where you can follow the Blaby Heritage Trail. If you’d rather tour on two wheels, it’s a 10-minute drive to Rutland Cycling Leicester for bike hire. To take in some of the area’s history, try a trip to Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre (20 minutes) or a day out in Leicester (20 minutes), visiting the cathedral, the Richard III exhibition and Newarke Houses Museum. For alternative days out, head off to meet the colourful crew at Tropical Birdland (20 minutes) or learn all about the art of brewing with a tour at Everards Meadows (10 minutes).
