Holwell Pastures is located in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside close to the market town of Melton Mowbray. On site are several activities but if you have the time and would like to look around the area there are plenty of local attractions.
Melton Mowbray itself is a market town, 19 miles north east of Leicester and 20 miles south east of Nottingham. It has built a reputation in recent years as Britain's "Rural Capital of Food". Top food attractions in this area are the Melton Mowbray pork pies (see below, Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe) and Stilton cheese which originated close to Melton Mowbray, both of which have Protected Status.
Melton has been a market town for over 1,000 years. The market was established with tolls before 1077 and is the third oldest market in England with Royal approval being given to the Tuesday market in 1324. The current Tuesday market located next to Scalford Road has a large number of stalls in the market square and one of the largest and most successful livestock markets in the country.
