Knighton Spinney

Knighton Spinney Knighton Spinney is the finest woodland in Leicester. To make the oaks grow tall and straight, ash were planted in between them.

Squire Cradock-Hartopp planted oak trees to form the Spinney in 1840 to help provide oak wood for future shipbuilding. Later Cradocks decided to keep the woodland as a fox covert, and in 1932 a covenant was published declaring that the spinney should be a nature reserve for all time.
