The thriving market town of Melton Mowbray has a worldwide reputation as ‘Britain’s Rural Capital of Food’. As well as being recognised as a national centre for high quality artisan produce of all kinds and the original home of  the authentic Melton Mowbray Pork Pie and Stilton cheese, there’s much much more to surprise and delight you about this quintessentially English part of the world.  

Melton and the many inviting villages of the Wreake Valley are centrally located for easy access to all the key cities in the East Midlands as well as having rail links to Peterborough, Cambridge, Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham and Stanstead Airport. Both the town itself and the villages nearby enjoy a fascinating past, with historic buildings and places of interest in abundance – not least the weekly market which is the largest town centre market in the country and predates the Domesday Book. The neighbouring villages are as charismatic as they are welcoming with ironstone period homes rubbing shoulders with fine country properties, often with land and stabling attached, to cater to the many equestrians and lovers of countryside pursuits who enjoy living here.
