A market town in the Charnwood Borough of Leicestershire, Loughborough is the second largest county settlement after Leicester. The town is known for bell making, and is home to the last work bell foundry in the UK. This busy market town has everything you could need, from shops, boutiques, restaurants, great bars, entertainment venues, and much more. Plenty of students find themselves in Loughborough University, as the town is home to Loughborough University, where team spirit and a vibrant campus bring students together for a great experience. There's so much worth doing in Loughborough, such as a visit to the Great Central Railway – the country’s only double track mainline steam heritage railway.
