Known as Britain's "Rural Capital of Food", Melton Mowbray owes much of its fame to the delectable Melton Mowbray pork pie and Stilton cheese, drawing food enthusiasts from across the land. This Leicestershire favourite, whose name "Melton Mowbray" interestingly means 'Middletown surrounded by small hamlets', is more than just your typical English town. It cradles a deep history, dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages, and its prosperity was once tied to its proximal advantage to Roman roads and military centres.
