Flower Delivery to Ab Kettleby by Clare Florist

Located in the county of Leicestershire, Ab Kettleby is a picturesque village near the celebrated pie making town of Melton Mowbray. From the duck pond to the stone cottages, every corner is packed with rural charm. There's the exotically-named Sugar Loaf pub, taking its name from Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, a thriving community centre and, most iconic of all, a traditional red telephone box.

The heart of the village is beautiful St. James' Church, an attractive building crammed with historical delights. Beneath the churchyard is an ancient Roman mosaic, whilst inside is a Norman font. There's even a Holy Well within the boundaries of the village.

Getting around is easy; there are plenty of local bus links and the nearest railway station is Melton Mowbray, just a couple of miles away. The villages of Holwell and Wartnaby are situated close by.

Ab Kettleby is an idyllic place and visitors are drawn to the spectacular scenery. Surrounding the village is a scattering of farms, some of which date from mediaeval times. The village found fame when one of these farms became home to one of the most famous race horses in the world, Desert Orchid. But this isn't the only flower the village holds dear; residents are proud of their gardens and there are frequent community projects to preserve the outstanding natural beauty of the region.

Ab Kettleby flower delivery ensures that homes look as good on the inside as they do outside. Many of the picture postcard houses in the village are made of distinctive ironstone, belying the region's history as a key producer of this metal. Nearby Burrough Hill was the site of an Iron Age Fort and offers breathtaking views. Part of the rampart still remains and there are some wonderful walks nearby. With several woodlands to ramble through and an array of delightful vistas, it's no wonder that this area is known as the Vale of Belvoir, or Beautiful View.
