I've been and had a look for some parking that could be used if any if you wanted to go and do an early walk around bradgate. If you head to Newtown Linford centre you'll see some parking on the main road by the tea rooms. It's free between 6pm and 8am and then it's 30 mins max. That means if you wanted to get going around 6.30am you'd be back with plenty of time 👍 Sadly the tea rooms and coffee shops don't open until around 9am 😟
