While the village of Stilton is renowned for its namesake cheese, production is restricted to Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire due to Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) regulations [1]. However, visitors can still immerse themselves in the cheese's rich history by visiting the Bell Inn, a historic coaching inn where Stilton cheese was first sold in the 18th century [2]. For a unique experience, plan your visit around the Stilton Cheese Rolling Festival, held every May, where participants roll wheels of cheese through the village streetsโa delightful tradition celebrating the village's heritage.

Ashby Folville is a lovely quiet Leicestershire village with pretty chestnut tree-lined lanes and a 1,000 year old church. The charming village pub serves good ales with pub grub to boot. Quite the spot to take a break. Head east on Folville Street to the heart of the village.
