Willesley Campsite

Willesley Campsite is a Scout-run site located 1 mile (1. 6 km) south-west of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, operated by Leicestershire Scout County.

It occupies 14 acres of the former Willesley Hall estate, which the Scouts acquired in 1952 after the hall itself was demolished. The grounds include fields, woodland, and the estate's original church, St.

Thomas's, with part of the old gatehouse still standing. The site sits within the wider 155-acre parkland that surrounds Willesley Lake, a serpentine fishing and boating lake originally constructed to control water levels for power generation at the hall.

The lake is now designated a Site of Ecological Interest.
