The area is known for its beautiful countryside, historic buildings, and excellent transport links.

Blaby has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and there are many historic buildings and landmarks in the area. One of the most notable is the Blaby Manor House, which dates back to the 16th century and is now a Grade II listed building.
