Off the tourist map — and all the better for it
There is so much to see in Leicestershire — yet it remains gloriously under-visited. If you’re a history lover then you simply have to come. This is the county where one of England’s most famous kings was found buried under a car park, where Thomas Cromwell’s trail runs through ancient abbeys, and where the rural capital of British food produces some of the country’s most legendary ingredients.
The countryside is beautiful, the villages a delight and the pubs feel just like home. We are the only private tour operator in the city and county — and we’d love to show it to you properly.
