Introduction | Coach Station | Lifestyle | Sightseeing
Often overlooked in favour of the England's better known tourist destinations, Leicester is a thriving metropolis in the Midlands, just waiting to be discovered, and coach travel to Leicester gives you an open door to all the hidden gems this city has to offer.
Legend has it that Leicester was founded by King Lear (of Shakespeare fame), and the city makes the most of its 2000 year history. Take a coach to Leicester, and then step back in time and explore Roman ruins, mediaeval castles, and even haunted houses. With numerous stately homes in the area, and a variety of guided walks and tourist trails, Leicester coach travel gives all amateur historians a chance to indulge their passion.
Stress-free shopping
And if your tastes are more modern, coach travel to Leicester has just as much to offer you. The city centre has undergone regeneration in recent years, and now provides a sparklingly modern shopping experience courtesy of Highcross Leicester - the largest redevelopment the city has ever seen - to go with the old-fashioned charm of the Leicester Lanes. Take a coach to Leicester and enjoy a laid-back shopping experience, with just as many big names as you'll find in larger cities, but far less of the stress.
Thanks to waves of immigration throughout the twentieth century, Leicester is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the UK, and as well as its Norman cathedral and several Anglo-Saxon churches, the city boasts a magnificent Hindu temple, and the award-winning Masjid Umar. Regular coaches to Leicester give hungry visitors the perfect opportunity to sample the delights of Britain?s curry capital - head to Belgrave Road to see what all the fuss is about.
Escape to the forest
Leicester coach travel is the perfect way for all the family to enjoy a relaxing few days away. The city is close to the National Forest, where parents can relax amongst the trees, while the kids go exploring, on foot or by bike. And for rainy days, there's a fabulous range of museums and galleries - and even the National Space Centre, guaranteed to keep children (and adults) occupied for hours on end.
In a city with all this variety, you won't be surprised to find accommodation to suit every pocket - from boutique hotels to cosy youth hostels, with everything in between. So whether you want to get down and dirty with the kids, or enjoy a chic mini-break with your beloved, choose coach travel to Leicester, and enjoy the ride!
