Hinckley
Hinckley in south-west Leicestershire is a market town with bucket loads of character and charm. Once the centre of England’s hosiery industry, it’s still home to a thriving textile industry, the wares of which are sold at the popular market that stretches across Hinckley town centre every Monday, Friday and Saturday. But it’s the rolling Midlands countryside surrounding Hinckley that really attracts holidaymakers and daytrippers, many of whom also stop by for a tour of world-renowned motorcycle manufacturer Triumph. If you’re in search of Hinckley accommodation, look no further than Leonardo Hotel and Conference Venue Hinckley Island, including the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill and the Juvenate Health and Leisure Club, and within easy reach of Twycross Zoo.
Get your bearings
History buffs will enjoy a visit to Hinckley & District Museum, which charts Hinckley’s history from Roman times to today. Housed in a beautiful 17th-century thatched cottage, there are also daily demonstrations, including a replica Victorian wash day and an archer who makes his own bow and arrows. Or head to the heritage-listed St Mary’s Church, reported to be the oldest building in Hinckley, with a striking tower and spire that can be seen from the surrounding countryside.
Don’t miss
On market days, Hinckley’s town centre comes alive with boisterous traders, well-known artists and much-loved farmers, who set up stalls overflowing with fresh meats and cheeses, still-warm bread and cakes, and paintings, clothes and homewares. For those wanting some more retail therapy, the Britannia Shopping Centre houses most of the big brand names, but if you’re after one-off pieces that will get everyone talking, head for independent boutiques such as Marmalade Meringue on Castle Street.
While you’re there
There’s no shortage of daytripping activities around Hinckley. Just 15 minutes from Jurys Inn Hinckley Island, Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre offers a fun, interactive way for history fans and children to learn about the Battle of Bosworth, medieval warfare and the powerful Tudor dynasty. Or head to Twycross Zoo, which is home to more monkeys and apes than any other zoo in Europe, and also home to two stunning Sumatran tigers, named Jahly and Sialang.
