Leicestershire is a
beautiful county at the heart of England, within the developing
National Forest. It is a county where you can discover completely
unspoilt villages and market towns, open countryside and panoramic
views with rocky summits and secluded valleys. Leicestershire has a
wide variety of attractions including Bosworth Battlefield,
and
Snibston Discovery Park, which reminds us of our industrial past.
Loughborough in the north of the County is well known as an IT
centre and Loughborough University is also the national headquarters
for many sports in the United Kingdom. The jet engine was invented
in Lutterworth, in the south of the County, while Hinckley in the
west, was where the hosiery and footwear industries evolved.
Ashby-de-la Zouch in the north west of the county, and Market
Harborough, in the south east are two very attractive, historical
market towns. Melton Mowbray, in the north east, is a rural market
town which is famous for Stilton Cheese and Pork Pie
