2 GENERAL INFORMATION: The sought-after suburb of Birstall is situated just outside the City boundary, to the north of Leicester, on the A6 Leicester to Loughborough road, and is well known for its popularity in terms of convenience for ease of access to the afore-mentioned Leicester City centre and all the excellent amenities therein, as well as the market towns of Loughborough, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Uppingham and Market Harborough, the East Midlands International Airport at Castle Donington, the adjoining Charnwood Forest with its many scenic country walks and golf courses, and the A46 Western By- Pass which links Birstall to Junction 21 of the M1 \M69 motorway network for travel north, south and west, and the adjoining Fosse Park and Meridian shopping, entertainment, retail and business centres.
