Loughborough

University town Loughborough was first mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086. Over nearly 1000 years the town has grown up to represent its history with no fewer than four museums, and there are also a number of Art Deco buildings on Market Place and Market Street.

Visit Loughborough by catching an Arriva bus on routes 126/127.

Charnwood Museum

Handle rocks from Charnwood’s volcanic past, walk beneath the giant oak tree, investigate the 4,000 year old burial of the Cossington Boy, visit the Victorian grocers shop or zoom-in on a fly’s eye with the video microscope.
Great Central Railway

Voted number 12 on the list of the 50 greatest railway journeys in the world the Great Central Railway is the UK's only double track, main line heritage railway. It’s the only place in the world where full size steam engines can be seen passing each other – just as it was when steam ruled the rails.
Loughborough War Memorial and Carillon

Built in 1922 as a War Memorial. The 47 bells were crafted by the local John Taylor Bellfoundry and its melodic tones can be heard during the regular Thursday and Sunday afternoon concerts in summer months.
A great idea for a day out, entry to this destination is free!
Stonehurst Family Farm & Museum

Feed the animals, wander round the Farm Motor Museum, browse the Farm Shop, ride a pony or hop on the tractor and trailer rides - a totally enjoyable day. Catch the Arriva 126 / 127 service operates to Mountsorrel to visit the farm.
