Rainy-day rescue

All indoors. All on the same loop. Three hours, zero wet socks.

Wednesday's plan 2 min driving · 0.5 mi

3 stops, plotted to loop back where you started.

A rainy Wednesday in Leicester actually works in your favour when the day is this compact, with everything sitting practically on top of each other and just two minutes of driving between stops. A warm tearoom start, some sheltered shopping, and a proper slice of Roman history make for a full and comfortable day without ever getting too wet.
