 Tourist information East Midlands
Speculate on why the stocks in Oakham's market square have five holes for arms and legs! Oakham was the home of Sir Jeffery Hudson, 'Britain's Smallest Man' – a tiny but well-proportioned dwarf who fought for the Royalists in the English Civil War. Enjoy wonderful views from the top of England's tallest working windmill, in Boston. Soak away your worries at the warm springs of Buxton and Bakewell (originally called 'Bathwell'), whose health-giving waters have been appreciated since Roman times. Or follow your stomach on a food odyssey across the market towns of the East Midlands – after all, this is the region that gave England its Stilton cheese, its Melton Mowbray pork pie and its Bakewell tart.
