3 stops, plotted to loop back where you started.
A Friday with a heritage mood and about 84 minutes of driving spread across three stops is a really solid setup for a day that covers Leicestershire's industrial and historical past in a satisfying arc. All three places reward a slow, curious pace, so there is no need to rush any of them.
