According to NatureSpot, "Highway Spinney is a semi-natural woodland and was designated a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) in 1999. It lies at the edge of Leicester and is separated from its sister woodland, Meynell's Gorse, by Hinckley Road. Conservation work is undertaken by the Friends of Highway Spinney ...".



Update 7 June 2016
Another dentist visit (no drilling, phew). Note that, notwithstanding the Welcome to Braunstone Town sign adjacent to the main entrance to Highway Spinney (see below) and the nice wildflower display surrounding it, it is fact in the City.
