    Hiking

    Situated between Burrough on the Hill and Somerby, south of Melton Mowbray, Burrough Hill Country Park is a significant and well-preserved Iron Age hill fort.

    Besides its historical importance, the park provides diverse wildlife habitats and various areas for visitors.

    Once known for foxhunting and as the reputed birthplace of Stilton cheese, the area has transformed into a mix of arable, dairy, beef, and sheep farming today.
