Leicestershire is a vibrant and varied county in the heart of England, offering a perfect blend of rural charm, historic landmarks, and modern attractions — ideal for caravan holidays that want both countryside peace and easy access to city buzz. Whether you’re wandering the rolling Charnwood Forest, exploring the legacy of King Richard III, or enjoying a walk along the Grand Union Canal, Leicestershire has something for everyone.
Caravan parks here are often tucked into leafy settings near scenic villages or on the outskirts of towns like Market Harborough, Loughborough, and Melton Mowbray — home of the famous pork pie. The city of Leicester itself is rich in culture and history, with excellent museums, shopping, and food. Families will love days out at animal parks and interactive museums, while couples and walkers can soak in quiet countryside trails and quaint market towns.
