Moving to Melton Mowbray
Despite having a blossoming population of over 27,000 the market town of Melton Mowbray is olde worlde, with a small town feel and plenty of amenities.
St Mary’s Church, the largest church in Leicestershire, stands tall above the town and a warren of medieval streets all join to a central market place. With a rich heritage in hunting and agriculture, Melton Mowbray has been crowned the ‘Rural Capital of Food’, producing such delicacies as pork pies and Stilton cheese. To get your hands on some of Melton’s finest fodder, head to Melton’s famous market, which dates back 1,000 years.
For some reason, the south of Melton Mowbray is the most popular, perhaps something to do with the beautiful array of Victorian properties located there. There are some fantastic homes around Dalby Road and Burton Road. If you have a little less budget, but still have your heart set on a Victorian property, look at Burton Lazars and Scalford Road. There are a number of suburban roads and estates on the fringes of the town centre.
If you are looking for countryside charm then Scalford or Thorpe Arnold are popular locations, but for even more rural settings there are some beautiful villages in the surrounding area such as Kirby Bellars, Great Dalby and Thrussington.
Leisure Facilities in Melton Mowbray
Melton Mowbray Country Park is a weekend favourite of many living in the town, with 140 acres of wildlife, lakes, footpaths, sports pitches, and children’s play areas. Even better, it is just 10 minutes walk from the town centre!
Twinlakes is an attraction that is nearby to Melton Mowbray and is usually heaving during the school holidays, but definitely worth a visit. It is one of Leicestershire’s top attractions and home to a small zoo, falconry centre, roller coaster, log flume, go-karting, and a boating lake. Visitors can get around the park via a miniature railway. They often hold seasonal events, with amazing Father Christmas activities for children at Christmas.
Melton Mowbray has its own museum called the Carnegie, which was originally a library built in 1905. However, this isn’t Melton Mowbray’s only old building. The Regal Cinema is a real hit and is set in a beautiful 1930’s Art Deco building.
