Houses Fit for a King

Enjoy an Elite Door to Door holiday to Leicester.

The War of the Roses may have taken place twelve miles west of Leicester, but this tour holds strong ties to this title – both historically and florally.

Richard III is one of the most controversial historical figures, which would probably explain why he was exhumed from a carpark, instead of the grounds of a stately home. Discover for yourselves whether he was deserving of a concrete tomb or a ceremonial resting place.

A combination of iconic architecture, elegant gardens, and abundant wildlife in the grounds await at Belton House, the fascia of which is, bizarrely, the icon for all motorway signs signalling stately homes. Wander the thirty-eight gardens that comprise the eight acres of Barnsdale Gardens, or ‘a gardener’s theme park’, take a cruise on Rutland Water, and discover another submerged story.
