In the heart of the city you might find it difficult to believe that you’re only a short trip from open countryside – but it’s true! In Leicester, you’re never far from being able to enjoy fresh, clean country air in your lungs, revel in the soothing beauty of nature and drink in still and peaceful surroundings.
Why not get back to nature and enjoy a great day out in the stunning Leicestershire countryside? Discover exotic species at Twycross Zoo, see the ruins of Bradgate House – once home to nine days Queen of England Lady Jane Grey – or learn about the death of King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth.
You can even explore Leicestershire on canal boat and horseback. Meander along the River Soar or trot along off-road bridleways – both make for a unique and enjoyable way to experience Leicestershire’s rolling countryside and market towns.
From nature lovers to history buffs and everything in between, there’s something for all the family in Leicestershire! Want to know more about Leicestershire? Visit the Go Leicestershire website to help you plan your trip into the county.
