Planning a summer picnic in Victoria Park or heading across the road to De Montfort Hall to watch live music at Gigs in the Garden? Check out our pollen tracker so you know the Leicester pollen count for the next few days.
There are more than 130 parks in Leicester, so there’s plenty of open green spaces to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. But, this also means more chances for pollen to cause your hay fever to flare up. The type of pollen you need to look out for is tree pollen - with around 16% of Leicester covered in tree canopy.
Tree pollen peaks in April and May – so while the popular Abbey Park is a picturesque place to spend a spring day, you’ll want a few Allergy Comfort Wipes in your pocket because it’s also home to more than 33,000 trees.
If you’re allergic to tree pollen then maybe give Evington Park a wide berth, as it’s filled with English oak, chestnut, rare gingko and mature beech. Castle Hill Country Park might also set off your allergies thanks to its 250-acre grasslands and ash, oak and willow trees.
Don’t let high pollen count in Leicester stop you from enjoying your days out. There are plenty of hay fever-friendly activities you can get up to with minimal impact on your allergies. Check the local pollen count with the tracker, whether you’re heading out in peak pollen seasons between March and May or want a lovely June day out when grass pollen peaks.
The city’s heritage – from its industrial past to its 1th century history – are great places to avoid pollen. Discover how this the Leicester of today was shaped by its past.
