The SMR is situated at Stapleford Park (next to the hotel), near Melton Mowbray, Leics, England.

Note,  There are plenty of the Brown Tourism signs directing to the hotel around the area which you can follow.

We are just off the B676 Melton to (A1) Colsterworth road about 4 miles East of Melton.

Head out of Melton on the B676, after about 4 miles at the Saxby industrial park turn right (just before the Wymondham turn) and go over the railway bridge and then hump back river bridge, the SMR is on your left before you reach Stapleford village and hotel entrance (unless parking is in use at the hotel and signposted otherwise on the day

 

The FSMR are not responsible for any travel arrangements or incorrect information if you choose this mode of transport. You could also get a taxi from Oakham or Melton railway stations which are both about 20 minutes away.

 

 

Melton is about 100 miles due north of London (2 1/2 hrs) and 70 miles from the Cotswolds / Stratford Upon Avon.

 

Melton Mowbray is the centre of the famous Pork Pie and Stilton Cheese industries and is a very popular tourist area, with plenty of places to stay and see. The Melton website may be of interest if you are planning a visit from outside the area, see the links page on the bottom of this page. Of course, you could stay at "Stapleford Park Country Hotel", one of the most exclusive in Britain

We are also on the borders of the ancient County of Rutland, which is an attraction in its self, with the close by standard gauge Rutland railway museum a popular location for industrial steam and diesel engines as well as the Rutland water reservoir, the biggest manmade lake in Europe.

Also nearby is the "Great Central" railway. The only double track mainline preserved steam railway in the UK.

And the Nene valley Railway at Peterborough, famous for various James Bond films

Also 15 miles from the National Space Centre at Leicester.
