Local Area

The Tollemache Arms is situated 4 miles off the A1, between Colsterworth and Melton Mowbray on the B676, in the beautiful village of Buckminster.

Buckminster has a tree-lined main street and lies just half-a-mile from the Lincolnshire border. The Church of St John the Baptist acts as a landmark, visible, high on the Leicestershire Wolds, for miles around. For the more adventurous there is the Buckminster Gliding Club! Many properties in the local area and Grantham are owned by the Buckminster Estate, who are linked with the Tollemache family who live in Buckminster Park: the former home of the Earl of Dysart. They have connections with Helmingham Hall in Suffolk.

Nearby is Nottingham, Melton Mowbray (well known for its world famous Pork Pies and Stilton Cheese), Grantham, Oakham, Leicester and Loughborough and are all conveniently situated within 20-mile radius of the village.
