Where to stay in National Forest

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

Heather

While Heather may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Donington le Heath Manor House and Bagworth Heath Woods Country Park.

Heather
Footpath from Appleby Road Clearly not heavily used, the line of the path has not been clearly maintained across the crop. The next waymark can be seen in the distance.

Snarestone

When in Snarestone, you can plan a visit to Twycross Zoo and Saltersford Wood Country Park, some noteworthy sights in the nearby area.

about 10 mins to walk to resorts world, 20 mins to NEC depending on the hall! alhtough part of this is an isolated dark walk if walking alone at night. Hotel clean and friendly, only really used the gym- small but sufficient for a session. I would use it again.
