Your Guide to Exploring Leicestershire
Discover the Heart of England - Leicestershire 4 Day Itinerary
Uncover the story of a city and county with over 2,000 years of history where visitors are guaranteed a traditional ‘taste’ of England and a landscape of woodland and waterways perfect for gentle adventures.
Leicester and Leicestershire are centrally located in the heart of England with easy access by road, rail and air. The area is famous for its connection with one of the bloodiest battles in English history and the gravesite where, over 500 years later, King Richard III’s remains were discovered beneath a city car park.
Unique visitor experiences include pork pie making workshops, a heritage railway that follows the route of Thomas Cook’s first popular excursion, tours of the last working bell foundry in Britain, the Triumph Factory Visitor Experience, afternoon tea in the 17th century home of Gunpowder plotter Sir Everard Digby or a tour of the opulent interiors of the castle that featured in Netflix’s The Crown. Leicestershire also offers an authentic taste of England with the ancient market town of Melton Mowbray claiming the title of Rural Capital of Food through its association with the pork pie and Stilton cheese.
