Leicester

Of all the towns in England, Leicester is one of the few that can trace its development and growth from Iron Age settlement to modern industrial city.
At the heart of the 2000 year history is Castle Park, an area of gardens, churches, riverside walks, fine buildings, ancient walls and gateways, interesting shops and museums, where the city's long and colourful past can be explored and enjoyed.

There is a street with the curious name of ‘Holy Bones’. Ye Olde Dolphin, Queen Street was first licensed in 1530. Church of St Margaret is a Grade II Listed building with some interesting features including a Nave of the 13th century, and some stained glass from around 1841. Leicester Cathedral was originally a parish church but was granted cathedral status in 1927.
