Cossington Meadow, overseen by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, was once a gravel quarry during the 1980s and 90s. As part of the Leicestershire Round development, the pits were filled with inert waste, some areas were covered with soil and seeded with grass, and deep holes were intentionally left to create lakes. Interpretation boards across the site provide information about the diverse plant and animal life that has established itself in the reserve.

A heritage centre entre stands on the site of the abandoned Nunckley granite quarry. A branch railway line was constructed in 1897 and conveyed over 100,000 tons of ballast from the quarry for the construction of the Great Central Railway. The quarry was closed in 1924 and the branch line in 1964. Work to restore the line started in 2007 and the site, including a heritage centre, coffee shop and railway station was opened to the public in 2016.

Rothley Station is on the Great Central Railway, the UKs only mainline heritage railway. The station has been restored to how it would have looked in 1912, down to coal fires for heating and gas lamps for lighting. Offers a choice of tea rooms. Cycles can be carried on the trains for £3.

Part of the Great Central railway line. Old steam trains run on this line.

Also known as the parish church of St Mary the Virgin & St John the Baptist. It has a very long history and a lovely church yard.
