About Loughborough

Known for

The Great Central Railway (the only double-track main line heritage railway in Britain), the Taylor's Bell Foundry (the world's largest working bell foundry), Loughborough University (one of Britain's finest), and a Leicestershire market town of extraordinary industrial and academic heritage

A little history

Taylor's Bell Foundry in Loughborough has been casting bells since 1839 — they cast Big Ben and bells for Westminster Abbey, Washington Cathedral and countless churches worldwide. The Great Central Railway, a heritage line running to Leicester, is the only double-track main line heritage railway in Britain. Loughborough University is consistently rated among the best in the world for sport.

Local tip

Taylor's Bell Foundry tours are genuinely fascinating — watching enormous bells being cast is extraordinary. The Great Central Railway for steam trains south. The university campus for sporting facilities.
