Overview of Loughborough

Loughborough is located in the borough of Charnwood in Leicestershire, right at the heart of England. The largest town in the county, it is second only to the city of Leicester in terms of population. A busy university town, Loughborough offers many good-value flats for sale and property here is in high demand among buy-to-let property developers as well as those looking to set up their own home. Flats and other property for sale here are well connected to the rest of the country. The town is easily reached by road - via the M1, junction 23 - and its railway station has regular fast trains to London (90 minutes), Birmingham (one hour) and Manchester (two hours). East Midlands Airport is just a few miles outside the town. Although a major town, with a population of more than 55,000 and many flats available to buy, it lies within easy reach of some of the UKKs most beautiful countryside. The Peak District and Sherwood Forest are both close by, as are the scenic Leicestershire Wolds, home to some of the most picturesque villages in England. Loughborough has a range of good shops, restaurants and bars and the cities of Nottingham, Derby and Leicester are within a half-hour train trip or drive from the town.
