Think of Melton Mowbray and two things spring to mind - Stilton cheese and pork pies!
And here they are quite happy to supply visitors with both in this market town.
A visit to Ye Olde Pork Pie Shop and the Sausage Shop is a mouthwatering experience.
You can also find out all about them in the Melton Carnegie Museum.
Every Tuesday visitors can get caught up in the excitement of the lively weekly Fur and Feather auction at Melton Cattle Market.
Believe it or not Melton also has another claim to fame - as the place where the phrase "paint the town red" originated when some young aristocrats went on a drunken spree in the town during the 1800s and, quite literally, painted the town red!
Nearby is Belvoir castle, which dates back to Norman times and has a stunning view across the Vale of Belvoir. Fans of castles will love the galleries and museum within the castle as well as outdoor sculptures in the garden which have been restored by the Duchess of Rutland.
