Leicestershire is home to many exciting attractions. From family fun to historic houses there’s plenty for everyone.
Don’t miss the spectacular National Space Centre in Leicester, with its real rockets and interactive challenges! Marvel at the splendour of Belvoir Castle near Melton Mowbray, or visit the historic Bosworth Battlefield where King Richard III lost his life. You might also like to take a boat trip on the Grand Union Canal, or travel back in time on a steam train at the Great Central Railway.
Kids will enjoy the fun-packed Twinlakes Park near Melton Mowbray, as well as Snibston Discovery Park near Coalville. Twycross Zoo near Market Bosworth is another fantastic family day out, whilst Conkers at the heart of the National Forest, and Wistow Maze near Kibworth, will keep youngsters entertained for hours!
