Hartshill Hayes is set in a wonderful woodland area. It has been for many years our family's…read morefavourite walking area around Nuneaton. The woods are very well managed and retain the right balance of managed and wild areas. This is a mature forest,with a large variety of native trees, woodland plants and wildlife. We never fail to go when the bluebells are flowering as they cover the undergrowth in a rich deep carpet. It truly is a superb sight. It is a wonderful place to go and unwind, sit quietly on a bench, watch and listen to the birds. Children of all ages love exploring and will also like the play area. Adults are sometimes spotted on the rope and tyre swings. The terrain is hilly in most places, but nothing too challenging. There are several options of walks and paths to follow, including the easy path, which is handy for weelchairs and pushchairs. This path in particular will take you on the more scenic part of the park. On a clear day you can see the steam rising from the power station in Burton-on-Trent. There are a few picnic tables and it makes for a lovely day out when the weather is nice. Few people realise how beautiful the woods can be when it is raining, as long as you are well covered! Parking is cheap £1.50 a day, we buy the season ticket and come on the drop of a hat.

The Hermitage leisure centre is the main public leisure centre in North West Leicestershire. There…read moreis also a similar sized leisure centre in Ashby-De-La-Zouch, but in my opinion the Hermitage offers a better experience than the Ashby alternative. The leisure centre offers all the usual services you woul expect to be offered; including an excellent indoor swimming pool. In addition, there is a large sports hall for indoor football, badminton and other regular activities such as Karate and table tennis. Upstairs is a modern 'techno gym' which has a good balance between cardio and weights. My personal favourite thing about the leisure centre is the squash courts. They are all enclosed, which means the ball can not go out of the court over the top of the glass; many other courts at leisure centres in the region have open designs, which is incredibly frustrating. The leisure centre also runs many programs whatever your need and age: from high intensity aerobic workouts, to tai- chi. The leisure centre also owns a large portion of land adjacent to it and has a number of open football pitches, an astroturf for football and hockey as well as a fairly large fishing lake. Finally, it operates a 9-hole golf course which is well maintaned and challenging! Price wise, as it is operated by the council, the prices are better or as good as you would find at a commercially run gym/fitness centre.

I have a fondness for Abbey Park even though I don't get to go very often. My parents used to take…read moreme here alot when we were kids. Abbey Park is a mostly walled park first opened to the public in 1882. The river Soar flows through the park and is full of life - ducks, swans etc. The ruins of Cavendish House can be seen which burnt down in the 1600s. Activities for families - so much space for games, football, cricket etc. There is a large play area for kids of all ages which includes a large paddling pool(which was dry last time I went). There is a small gauge railway there and you can have a ride on the back of one for not much money. There is also a small petting zoo including rabbits, goats and an aviary. Abbey Park has very extensive grounds and you can spend a good deal time here whatever the weather. It's close to the city centre and also B&Q Depot and an ideal place to swing into for a quick trip or a long afternoon walk. There are two car parks as I remember- one is free and one is a council run and therefore expensive money-making pay and display.

Discovery Golf is just outside Coalville town centre and is a short walk away from Snibston…read moreDiscovery Park. As the previous reviewer has said this is a good place to 'practice your swing'. The driving Range is well maintaned and the price you pay for a bucket of balls is as good as value as you will find anywhere else locally. They also operate a 9-hole short course. I would not recommend this course to any serious player as it would be far to easy for them and secondly it is not well maintained. The course is okay for a novice or basic player getting to grips with the game, but for the more advanced player you would be better off trying either Whitwick or Breedon golf courses which are both nearby. Aside from the driving range and golf course they also operate a small but well stocked club shop, a crazy golf course which is a fun thing to do with friends or family and a bar, which shows live sport and is usually fairly quiet. A nice way to wind down after a session at the range!

The Tamworth Snowdome was the first indoor ski facility in the UK, opening in 1994. There are now…read morequite a few more in the UK but Tamworth is still good fun. It's also handily placed for my ski group's annual UK reunion as it's in the middle of England and we live all over the UK. Tamworth is just NE of Birmingham, a few minutes off junction 10 of the M42. It's located just outside town in a complex of leisure facilities including a swimming pool. Parking space is sufficient unless there's a big event on in town as people then park at the snowboarding centre and walk into town. The snow quality is good and certainly beats skiing on dry slopes. At lunchtime, they close the slope and groom it, which makes conditions for afternoon skiing also good. You an pre-book your ski session and the booking process is easy and painless. Your skiing time is determined by a swipecard that activates your access to the ski lift. The changing area is a little small and the floors can get wet but it's adequate. I have my own boots and the process for getting skis is quite efficient. I definitely recommend using the hire skis as indoor slopes can damage your own skis. They do take some care to make sure that your skis are on the right DIN settings. The slopes are accessed by a set of 2 travellators on one side and a shorter rope tow on the left. One possible problem is that there is a right angle bend halfway up the slope and once you get on the first travellator, you're committed to go to the top, whichn you can't see and nervous first time skiers may be a bit worried. At the top, it can get a bit icy but the gradient isn't too bad - a decent blue run. It's just long enough to have some fun and it's possible to get slight air near the bottom of the run but it's never going to be as long as a mountain run. The main issue for me is that they do a lot of teaching on the main slope and when they run lessons on both sides, the main run becomes dangerously narrow, especially with skiers coming round the right angle bend blind at high speed. There is a bar/restaurant which serves pub style lunches. Worth a leisure trip especially with other leisure facilities like Drayton Manor Park theme park and bowling nearby.
