Places to go

Leicester offers the perfect blend of urban living and natural beauty, where you can enjoy the hustle and bustle of city life, yet still be just moments away from fresh, clean country air. Whether it’s a quick escape to revel in the tranquillity of nature or to drink in the peaceful surroundings, Leicester and its surrounding areas offer the perfect balance.
