    The only double track mainline steam railway in the UK is based right here in Loughborough. The Great Central Railway spans 8.25 miles between Loughborough Central and Leicester North. Setting off from Loughborough, the GCR calls at three restored stations on the old Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, which closed in 1969. The line has...

    A cultured Victorian park, Queen’s Park was inaugurated in 1899 to honour the queen’s diamond jubilee. Within its boundaries are a couple of Loughborough’s main attractions, like the Charnwood Museum and the Loughborough Carillon. There’s also a bandstand, bordered by symmetrical formal flowerbeds and shrubs. Check the Charnwood council website for...

    Loughborough’s largest museum is housed in the former baths in the northwest corner of Queen’s Park. You can get to know Charnwood’s old trades, like basket-weaving and oak carving , and go back much further to 600 million years ago when Charnwood was all volcanic. There’s a full-size replica of the Barrow Kipper, a plesiosaur excavated nor far awa...

    A landmark that can be seen for miles, the 46-metre carillon in Queen’s Park was built as a memorial following the First World War. With neo-Baroque architecture, the carillon is inspired by the famous belfries of Flanders, the place where the British Army suffered many of its losses during the conflict. This Grade II-listed building holds 47 bells...

    Loughborough is home to the world’s largest working bell foundry, and the only one still operating in England. John Taylor & Co has a history that can be traced back to the 1300s and has cast bells for cathedrals and churches around the world, from Yale University to the Australian National Carillon in Canberra. A place where bells are cast, repair...

    Loughborough went through a flurry of construction in the 1930s, which left the town with a lot of Art Deco architecture. This can best be seen in the beautiful elevations along Market Street and on Market Place, even if there are chain stores on the ground floor. Look for the Loughborough echo building on Swan Street and the curving Beacon Bingo b...

    This 19th-century estate is owned by Lord and Lady Cranshaw. The Neoclassical house is their private home and closed to the public, but you can enjoy the 15-acre gardens from Sunday to Friday. In spring you’ll love the woodland garden, which is carpeted with flowering bulbs, while the old fashioned rose garden is glorious in summer, and has uplifti...

    If you want to escape to the countryside for a few hours, a fine choice would be this 330-acre country park around one of the tallest hills in Leicestershire. Once capped with a Bronze Age fort, Beacon Hill (248 m) is made up of igneous rock from an extinct volcano. On its summit is a toposcope pointing out some of the landmarks you can see in the ...

    Facing the Market Place, Loughborough Town Hall is a striking building constructed as a corn exchange (ground floor) and ballroom in 1855. It came about after a petition by the town’s tradesmen for a public gathering place in the town. Rather than an administrative building, the Town Hall is an entertainment venue, serving as Loughborough’s main th...

    Dating mostly to the 14th and 15th-centuries, Loughborough’s parish church is in the Perpendicular and Decorated Gothic styles. This is a typical wool church, made more extravagant through the wealth of the local wool industry – in fact, it’s one of the largest parish churches in the country. All Saints was extensively restored in the 19th century,...
