Welham is a beautifully quaint little village sitting on the border of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. It sits within the gorgeous Welland Valley, considered to be one of the most beautiful regions in the midlands. The village and its surrounding area is worth a visit year round. Be sure to pop into the Old Red Lion if you fancy a drink in front of the cosy log fire.
