The battlefield where Richard III lost his crown (and his head), towering Lincoln Cathedral, Althorp, Sulgrave Manor, the pies of Melton Mowbray; there is so much to see that an experienced local guide will help you make the most of your stay.
Visit the vibrant and historic Cities of Derby, Leicester, Northampton and Nottingham; watch out for Robin Hood's Sherriff!
