YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Leicestershire
Leicester’s history
The city’s Richard III connections and museums provide a focus for a heritage day. Select the venues that interest your group and check current admission arrangements before travelling.
Charnwood Forest
Charnwood’s rocks, woodland and parkland give a distinctive outdoor alternative. Bradgate Park is one option; choose a suitable route and follow local guidance around wildlife and access.
Foxton Locks
The canal setting at Foxton gives a slower day based around walking and watching the waterways. Check the site’s facilities and route surfaces if visiting with a pushchair or mobility needs.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Melton Mowbray is a useful place to explore local food traditions and independent shops. Market Harborough and Leicester offer additional provisions and browsing options along different routes.
Planning your holiday in Leicestershire
Combine one main attraction with a nearby town rather than crossing the county repeatedly. Woodland, park and canal routes vary in surface and distance, so check the particular outing you choose.
Choosing where to stay
Match a Charnwood, canal-side or market-town base to the kind of days you expect to repeat during your stay.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
