Overall Ratings

The award-winning King Richard III Visitor Centre is in Leicester city centre, opposite Leicester Cathedral. It has been created around the location where King Richard III's remains were buried for more than 500 years. Using storytelling, design and 21st century technology, visitors can discover the incredible story of the King's life and death, and one of the greatest archaeological detective stories ever told

We enjoyed our visit here very much; the displays give a good context to the Wars of the Roses and the upstairs exhibition, giving details of the archaeological dig and the scientific identification of Richard III's body are particularly fascinating. Being able to see the grave site is a moving experience, especially as you can then go across the road to see Richard III's tomb in the cathedral.

New walk is a beautiful thing. It’s got some stunning buildings and is a nice way to get to important places in town I.e railway station, courts, city centre, demontfort hall, the hospital, the universities, museum, Victoria Park etc etc. However there are some major problems, which are nothing to do with the walkway itself but the idiots who use it for things it’s not meant for. This is the only place in Leicester where cycling is forbidden and yet the Deliveroo, Uber eats and other delivery people seem to think that not only they need to cycle up and down it but they cycle like lunatics at speeds which are dangerous. I am surprised that no one has been badly hurt by these and other cyclists barrelling as if they were in the Tour de France. Next come the drug addicts and drunks, they are always there being a menace to the place. The drug addicts will often ask you for money but the drunks are usually asleep. Then there are the homeless, they have taken to making little camps with tents etc around some of the green patches like the oval and in bushes. I accept that they may have no choice and are simply looking for somewhere to exist, but nevertheless it’s not a good sight to see. You also get the foolish uni students that are wobbling up and down it drunk during the weekends dressed up like idiots, especially during the freshers time. This week they were dressed as drunk Romans and firefighters. Other than that the place is remarkable, it’s a pity a small number of factors can ruin something rather special and unique.

There is not a lot of the castle to see. You can climb the motte, which was levelled to provide a bowling green. The Great Hall is not available for viewing at the moment as it is part of the university. You can see the chapel in St Mary de Castro church. The gardens are pleasant to walk around.

This arch is truly breathtaking and well worth checking out. The monument is situated within Leicester’s Victoria Park. Please stop and remember those that have fallen during war.
