I have visited Leicestershire (pronounced Lestershear) many times but the scenery, although very pleasant in places, has never seemed to me to be particularly worthy of mention. If I were asked to nominate the ten best views in England, I can think of none in this county that would make the list.
Belvoir (pronounced Beaver) Castle overlooks the pleasant Vale of Belvoir, home to one of the most prestigious hunts, and Melton Mowbray is world-famous for its pork pies.
Our picture this week is if the village green in Upper Broughton. The pillar is the remains of a cross said to have been erected as a thanks offering because the Black Death passed the people by.
