For our first outing today, we head to Melton Mowbray for market day. The town has a royal heritage that goes back to Richard the Lionheart and is home to Stilton, Red Leicester Cheese, and of course the famous Melton Mowbray Pork Pie. Head inside Melton Carnegie Museum to see on original pie oven, grab a pie at Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe, or visit the Anne of Cleves pub. In the afternoon we head to Belvoir Castle, chosen to represent Windsor Castle in Netflix's hit series 'The Crown'. Set on a high hill with panoramic views you'll enjoy a guided tour of the castle followed by time to explore the beautiful landscaped gardens at leisure.
