Leicester /ˈlɛstər/ (listen)[4] is a city, unitary authority and the county town of Leicestershire in the East Midlands of England.

The city lies on the River Soar and close to the eastern end of the National Forest.[5] It is to the north-east of Birmingham and Coventry, south of Nottingham, and west of Peterborough.

The 2016 mid year estimate of the population of the City of Leicester unitary authority was 348,300, an increase of approximately 18,500 ( 5.6%) from the 2011 census figure of 329,839, making it the most populous municipality in the East Midlands region. The associated urban area is also the 11th most populous in England and the 13th most populous in the United Kingdom.[6]

Leicester is at the intersection of two major railway lines—the north–south Midland Main Line and the east/west Birmingham to London Stansted CrossCountry line; as well as the confluence of the M1/M69 motorways and the A6/A46 trunk routes. Leicester is the home to football club Leicester City and rugby club Leicester Tigers.

Hinckley is a market town in south-west Leicestershire, England. It is administered by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council. Hinckley is the third largest settlement in the administrative county of Leicestershire, after Leicester and Loughborough. Hinckley is about halfway between Leicester and Coventry and borders Nuneaton in Warwickshire. Watling Street forms part of the Hinckley/Nuneaton border but the two towns are very much contiguous with one and other.

Hinckley was also included in part of the Nuneaton Urban Area but was removed last time a population estimate was taken. The town is also contiguous with the nearby town Earl Shilton and the villages of Higham on the Hill, Burbage and Barwell. In 2000, archaeologists from Northampton Archaeology discovered evidence of Iron Age and Romano-British settlement[2] on land near Coventry Road and Watling Street.

Hinckley has a recorded history going back to Anglo-Saxon times; the name Hinckley is Anglo-Saxon: "Hinck" is a personal name and "ley" is a meadow.[3] By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086,[4] Hinckley was quite a large village, and it grew over the following 200 years into a small market town—a market was first recorded there in 1311. There is evidence of an Anglo-Saxon church – the remnants of an Anglo-Saxon sundial being visible on the diagonal buttress on the south-east corner of the chancel.[5]

Lutterworth

Even if you haven’t heard of Lutterworth, the chances are that you’ve enjoyed jetting off on a foreign holiday – an experience made possible by the pioneering work carried out here in south Leicestershire. Located at the centre of Roman England, near to High Cross, where Roman roads Watling Street and Fosse Way intersect, the town seemed destined to make an impact on travel and transport. A clue to its biggest claim to fame greets visitors on arrival – a full-size replica of a Gloster E28/39 aircraft on what’s known as the Frank Whittle Roundabout. Sir Frank Whittle was the brains behind the development of the jet engine, and much of his work, carried out in secrecy in the run up to World War II, was done right here. Lutterworth & District Museum has a unique archive of memorabilia connected to Sir Frank, including the original jet engine patent. The museum also tells the story of another Lutterworth luminary, John Wycliffe. Rector of St Mary’s Church from 1374-84, he encouraged the first English translation of the Bible, and memorials within the church and a granite obelisk in the town pay tribute to him. A stroll to Market Square brings you to the Grade II listed town hall. Its architect was none other than Joseph Hansom, whose invention the Hansom Cab revolutionised transport in Victorian England. Afterwards, stop for refreshments and a taste of Lutterworth’s time as a major coaching town at The Shambles or The Greyhound Coaching Inn. You can also enjoy a slice of vintage England at Back in Time for Tea, a café with spam sandwiches on the menu, or choose from a selection of leaf teas at E & R Tearoom. As you enjoy a pint or sip a cuppa, perhaps toast Sir Frank Whittle, who helped make the world accessible to all. Travel is at the heart of Lutterworth, from the ancient Roman roads that meet there, via the town hall designed by Joseph Hansom of Hansom Cab fame, to Sir Frank Whittle. Sir Frank, the man behind the jet engine, did much of his revolutionary work right here in Lutterworth.

Melton Mowbray (/ˈmɛltən ˈmoʊbri/) is a town in Leicestershire, England, 19 miles (31 km) north-east of Leicester, and 20 miles (32 km) south-east of Nottingham. It lies on the River Eye, known below Melton as the Wreake. The town had a population 27,670 in 2019.[1] The town is sometimes promoted as Britain's "Rural Capital of Food",[2] it is the home of the Melton Mowbray pork pie and is the location of one of six licensed makers of Stilton cheese.[3] In and around Melton, there are 28 scheduled ancient monuments, some 705 buildings of special architectural or historical interest, 16 sites of special scientific interest, and several deserted village sites.[5][6][7] Its industrial archaeology includes the Grantham Canal and remains of the Melton Mowbray Navigation. Windmill sites and signs of ironstone working and smelting suggest that the site was densely populated in the Bronze and Iron Ages. Many small communities existed and strategic points at Burrough Hill and Belvoir were fortified.

Market Harborough is a market town in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England, in the far southeast of the county, forming part of the border with Northamptonshire.

Market Harborough's population was 25,143 in 2020.[1] It is the administrative headquarters of the larger Harborough District.[2] The town was formerly at a crossroads for both road and rail; however, the A6 now bypasses the town to the east and the A14 which carries east-west traffic is 6 miles (9.7 km) to the south. Market Harborough railway station is served by East Midlands Railway services on the Midland Main Line with direct services north to Leicester, Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield and south to London St Pancras. Rail services to Rugby and Peterborough ended in 1966.

Market Harborough was formerly part of Rockingham Forest, a royal hunting forest used by the medieval monarchs starting with William I, whose original boundaries stretched from Market Harborough through to Stamford and included Corby, Kettering, Desborough, Rothwell, Thrapston and Oundle.

The steeple of St Dionysius' Church rises directly from the street, as there is no churchyard. It was constructed in grey stone in 1300 with the church itself a later building of about 1470. Next to the church stands the Old Grammar School, a small timber building dating from 1614. The ground floor is open, creating a covered market area and there is a single room on the first floor. It has become a symbol of the town. The nearby square is largely pedestrianised and surrounded by buildings of varying styles. The upper end of the High Street is wide and contains mostly unspoiled Georgian buildings.

Market Harborough has two villages within its confines: Great Bowden lies over a hill about a mile from the town centre; Little Bowden is less than half a mile from the town centre. The three centres have largely coalesced through ribbon development and infill, although Great Bowden continues to retain a strong village identity.
