The
name of Leicester is a development from the name of
the original people of the area who lived by a river
that has since changed its name. The roman suffix 'cester'
suggests that the romans called the river Soar something
like Legra or Legra.
Leicester in the heart of England features an impressive
historic array of museums, castles and beautiful historic
villages and market towns. Loughborough, famous for
bell casting and Market Harborough and Ashby de la Zouch
are popular tourist destinations.
The historical market towns of Melton Mowbray, Oakham
and Market Harborough are surrounded by beautiful countryside,
rural England at its best.
