Explore Leicester at your own pace
Beneath Leicester's bustling streets lie layers of secrets-Roman baths echoing lost voices, a cathedral shadowed by intrigue, and a fortress that once held kings and rebels.
Embark on a self-guided audio tour that turns city pavements into pathways through hidden drama and overlooked legends. Peel back the centuries with stories most travelers never hear.
What deadly betrayal left lasting scars in Leicester Castle's cold stone walls? Who vanished behind the Jewry Wall, leaving whispers that historians still puzzle over? Why does one humble corner of the Cathedral provoke fierce debate among royal enthusiasts?
