About The Outwoods

The Outwoods is 110 acres of ancient woodland to the south of Loughborough and is one of the oldest surviving woodland sites in Charnwood.

The Outwoods consists of a variety of different routes and walks, including an easy access path with a bird feeding station, and has a 24 hour car park for visitors as well as toilets.

The Outwoods was gifted to the people of Loughborough in 1946 by two local benefactors, Allan Moss and George Harry Bowler, and is managed by the Outwoods Management Committee.

Throughout 2021, the Council converted the old ranger's cottage at the Outwoods into a visitor centre and café. The new Outwoods Visitor Centre and Cafe is being operated by Olivia's Coffee and Bakery, a local business which has been part of Loughborough for three years.

The Outwoods hosts a natural children's play area which was inspired by the natural elements of the Outwoods.
