The Forest Side of Loughborough is situated to the West side of the town, flanked by Park Road to the left and The Loughborough University Campus to the right. Forest Road and Beacon Road are the main arterial roads leading you straight out of the town centre and into the Forest Side of town. This area has long been synonymous with the very best of aspirational family living, with Mountfields Lodge and Holywell Primary Schools, Woodbrook Vale Secondary School and only a 10 minute walk onto the Loughborough University Campus.

There is a post office and shop on Forest Road, along with The Forest Gate, Beacon Inn and The Priory pubs, all of which serve a fabulous array of food and drink to suit every taste. Childrens parks and picturesque countryside is on the doorstep, making this a haven for families and those looking for a relaxed pace of life, yet only 10 minutes drive or bus ride away from the town centre.
