Welcome to Quorn (Quorndon)

Quorn, also known as Quorndon, is a picturesque village located in the Charnwood district of Leicestershire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Soar and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Quorn is a popular destination for tourists who come to explore the village's rich history and natural beauty.

One of the most notable landmarks in Quorn is the Quorn Hall, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 17th century. The hall was once the home of the Farnham family, who were prominent landowners in the area. Today, the hall is used as a venue for weddings and other events. Another popular attraction in Quorn is the Great Central Railway, a preserved steam railway that runs through the village. Visitors can take a ride on the railway and experience the nostalgia of a bygone era.

Quorn is also known for its connection to the Quorn Hunt, a fox hunting group that was founded in the village in the 18th century. The hunt is still active today and attracts controversy due to its use of dogs to hunt foxes. Despite this, the hunt remains an important part of Quorn's history and culture. Overall, Quorn is a charming village that offers visitors a glimpse into the past and a chance to experience the beauty of the English countryside.
