In the centre of Leicester, there is an interesting area called Castle Park that includes several historical buildings, some of which we visited.Newarke House has several interesting displays: we especially enjoyed their period rooms and war displays.
On our walk around Leicester we came across the guildhall, the oldest building in Leicester, a real leap into the past; next door is the Cathedral, which has a warm and intimate atmosphere.
The markets were full of good quality fruit at bargain prices: we wished we had such a good market near us in London.
A short drive from the city centre, took us to Bradgate County Park from where we did an eight-mile walk past “Lady Jane’s” house. Lady Jane Grey, Queen of England for 9 days before Mary Tudor took over, was born and brought up at the now ruined Manor House.
