Melton Mowbray & the Vale of Belvoir

Feast your senses and indulge your tastebuds during time spent in Melton, the country’s rural capital of food and drink. The Melton area is a delightful and traditionally English place where quality produce, real heritage and country pursuits are not the exception, but the norm – come and enjoy the real taste of the countryside.

Leisure time in the Melton area will be time well-spent. Perfect for relaxation, to settle into the countryside life and to savour the finest traditional produce. Soak up the atmosphere of the bustling market town of Melton Mowbray – and snap up a few bargains too! Turn your hand to a new activity, re-acquaint yourself with the world of horses and hunting, and embrace the purest country air. Absorb the finest heritage, discover the hidden delights around every turn in the glorious Vale of Belvoir, and rediscover the value of spending your free time... on you.

And if you’ve ever wondered why the only truly authentic Melton Mowbray pork pie tastes so much better than everyone else’s imitation, then come and find out for yourself - and follow it up with our other claim to fame... Stilton cheese! The area around Melton is a rare treat that really delivers on its promise of being the rural capital of food and drink.
