The Melton Mowbray Heritage Trail takes you on a journey of discovery looking at the town’s rich and fascinating history going back 100’s of years.
Melton Mowbray is known as the Rural Capital of Food and famous for Pork Pies and Stilton Cheese. But there is far more to the town’s history than just food, although it does play an important part in it.
On this Melton Mowbray Heritage Trail, we will look at events and people (including several rich and famous) that have shaped our town into what we know today.
From Lords of the Manor, the Knights of St John of Jerusalem to the Bedehouses and the history of the markets plus lots more.

Is tipping included and if not, how much should I tip?
Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program here in the United Kingdom, and an expression of satisfaction with the guide who has assisted you on your tour.
Tips are not included in the tour price however, it is customary to tip tour guides £2-£5 per tour, though the amount is always at your discretion.
Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides. You may do this individually, or your guide will offer to collect the money and tip as a group.
