England’s Rural Capital of Food — and Much More
Step back through centuries of history in one of England’s most characterful market towns
Melton Mowbray is famous the world over for two things: the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie and Stilton Cheese — both with Protected Designation of Origin status, meaning only products made here can carry those celebrated names. But Melton’s rich heritage goes far deeper than its culinary fame, and our private walking tour brings centuries of extraordinary stories to life on the very streets where they happened.
From medieval monks and Tudor merchants to Victorian fox-hunting aristocrats and Georgian gentlemen, Melton has always attracted and shaped remarkable people. We’ll weave through ancient market squares, past the finest parish church in Leicestershire, and along Georgian streets that once buzzed with the cream of English society — all ending with a complimentary drink at the historic Anne of Cleves.

Tour Highlights
Royalty, rebels, monks, merchants — and the world’s greatest pie
The Church of St Mary the Virgin is our first and most spectacular stop — one of the finest medieval parish churches in the entire country, its soaring spire visible for miles across the Leicestershire countryside. Inside, centuries of local history are written in stone and glass.
From there we weave through ancient lanes and elegant Georgian squares, past the old Corn Exchange, the market place that has drawn traders for 800 years, and the grand hunting lodges that tell the story of Melton’s glittering Victorian heyday. The tour is perfect for history enthusiasts, families, and anyone who simply loves an extraordinary English market town.
