Welcome to the neighbourhood
The beauty of Little Glen, our new build development, is that it delivers the best of both worlds. There's country-style living combined with an abundance of resources and travel links via the nearby urban areas.
Glen Parva itself is a quiet parish that makes up part of the Blaby district and is home to just over 17,000 people. In the immediate area, there's listed country pub, Glen Parva Manor; a variety of green walking trails, and a number of quiet and safe recreational spaces for children.
Despite its own homely, community feel, Glen Parva is only four miles south of Leicester's bustling city centre, and therefore has excellent travel links to the city and well beyond. With Leicester's close proximity comes access to just about any resource you might need, too, from great entertainment venues to 'shop 'til you drop' retail, and just about everything in between.
Glen Parva and its immediate surroundings are perfect for walkers and explorers. There are two nature reserves in the area: Glen Parva Nature Reserve and Glen Hills Nature Reserve. Additionally, the trail between Glen Parva Woodland through to Aylestone Meadows is a two-hour meander offering bird watching and fishing opportunities.
Glen Parva has various safe recreational spaces for children to enjoy themselves, but the real fun for the kids (and perhaps the adults, too) likely starts a few miles north as you stray into Leicester. This is the biggest city in the East Midlands and there is plenty to do here, from eating out and enjoying the vibrant nightlife, to making the most of the various and fitness and leisure facilities.
You can also enjoy some retail therapy. Fosse Shopping Park, one of Leicester's biggest and best retail centres, is only a ten-minute drive away.
Being so close to Leicester means that residents at our Little Glen development can enjoy travel links into the city and beyond.
Getting into the city by car, bus or train will typically take you well under half an hour, even with city traffic to consider. Meanwhile, getting out to even bigger cities like London, Birmingham and Leeds is a doddle from Leicester train station.
