Top places to live in Leicestershire Melton Mowbray
Food festivals galore, a buzzing town market, a growing foodie scene and friendly locals - just a few reasons to move to this quintessential English market town. Part of our Top 200 Places to Live series.
WHY?
Known for its famous Melton Mowbray Pork Pie and being the centre of Stilton Cheese production, Melton is also known as Britain's Rural Capital of Food. If you visit or decide to stay, don't forget to pack your elasticated-waist trousers.
EAT
A Michelin-trained chef at the helm (Dominic Clarke) and a brand new menu and kitchen – just a couple of reasons why you need to visit village pub The Stag and Hounds, and for amazing vegan food, try Luck and Boo. Cheese lovers, don't miss traditional cheesemongers The Melton Cheeseboard.
SHOP
Melton Mowbray Farmers' Market (Tues and Fri of every week) gives local producers the chance to sell directly – expect meat, veg, fish, cheese (!) and food trucks and artisan coffee. For fashion, Oakham has indy boutiques while Peterborough and Leicester caters for those in need of high-end high street.
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
We like rooftop sunbathing over at Ragdale Hall, the award-winning spa. Or enjoy a brewery tour at Belvoir Brewery.
AVERAGE HOUSE PRICE
An overall average price of £221,546 and detached properties sell for an average price of £292,744. Local estate agents include Bentons and Shoulers.
SCHOOLS
We can recommend both private schools, Leicester High School for Girls and Stoneygate School and secondary school, Brooke House College. There's also Wyggeston and Queen Elizabeth I College (known by locals as QE) is a state-funded college.
BEST KEPT SECRET
Dickinson and Morris is the oldest remaining pork pie bakery in Melton Mowbray and possibly its best.
COMMUTE
It's 103 miles to London, which is less than an hour direct into Kings Cross St Pancras, but you'll need to get to Leicester station which is around a 15-minute drive. An annual season train ticket is just under £10,000. To drive, you're looking at 2hrs 20 mins.
