Burbage Common

I know this location is already on here, but I thought an update was well overdue. The entrance to the common is almost opposite Leicester Road sports ground. Going out of Hinckley, you pass the golf club on the right hand side where you then go down an hill and around a right hand bend. As the road continues, you will see a lay-by on the right hand side as the road goes around a long left hand bend. Pull in to the lay-by and take the Burbage Common road situated in the middle. After about 50 yards, on the right, is the first of two car parks. This car park is split in to three sections. The first section is quite exposed and can be seen from the Common Road. The second section is more secluded as it is surrounded by tall hedges on two sides and can’t be seen from passing cars on the Common Road. The third section of this car park is the largest where almost all of it is hidden from the Common Road. For the second car park, go past the turn for the first car park and after about 200 yards, you will see about 3/4 houses on the right hand side. One you go past the houses, the turn for the second car park is about 100 yards up on the right hand side. This is by far the smaller of the two car parks but it offers a much more secluded location with the option of venturing out in to the common. There is a toilet block in this car park, however, it has been out of use for a number of years. Out of the two car parks, this is the one that has been notorious for Dogging activity for a number of decades with its popularity becoming staggered in the past 10 years or so. On a good night, several couples, a good number of bi and straight men along with one or two TV/CD have been know to visit. Like a lot of spots, it can be hit and miss, so it would be better to arrange meets below to guarantee action.
