Beaumanor Hall,
situated within the village of Woodhouse, was built during the 19th Century for the wealthy Herrick family and has played many roles over the years. Originally a grand country home, it later played an important part in World War Two, when it became home to a signals unit.
Surrounded by beautiful gardens and parkland, Beaumanor Hall was purchased in the mid 1970's by Leicestershire County Council, and developed as a busy Conference and Education Centre. It has been mapped for orienteering and they provide course for school groups and we occasionally use it for small training events.
