St Michael with St Mary's Church, Melbourne
Episcopal church
👍👍 By any measure, this is a very impressive parish church. Started in 1120 and still having most of its original Norman stonework, it is one of the finest Norman parish churches in the country. It was partly renovated in the 1630s and again, fairly sensitively, in 1859-1862 by George Gilbert Scott a...

East Midlands Airport Picnic and Viewpoint Area (EMG)

Dimminsdale
Nature preserve
👍 An interesting and peaceful Nature Reserve cared by Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust.
In the 13th century, the area was a limestone quarry for building stones.
In summer some of the paths can be overgrown with nettles, so be careful wearing shorts…
I had a very relaxing walk though, didn’t...

👍👍 A museum very deserving of its 'Museum of the year' awards (2007 and 2010). Features a good balance between written information and physical exhibits, and has an excellent photo archive.
The perfect place to discover lost aspects of Ashby!
