A battered castle hides tales of royal ambition and rebellion beneath red brick walls. A thousand-year-old church guards secrets of lost queens and loves, its tower abruptly chopped short against the sky. Nearby, jagged Roman ruins stand defiant on green lawns, stones whispering forgotten names and ancient quarrels.

This self-guided audio tour lets you uncover Leicester’s hidden pulse. Stroll from Leicester Castle to the Church of St Mary de Castro and Jewry Wall, hearing stories most visitors never find.

Which noble’s betrayal set a city ablaze during a medieval siege? Why was a legendary spire unceremoniously lopped from its lofty perch? Could Roman bathers really have squabbled over stolen sandals within these ancient arches?

Walk in the footsteps of kings, poets and everyday rebels as centuries collide around every turn. Rediscover Leicester through echoing halls, shadowed doorways, and walls heavy with intrigue.
