Loughborough is a town in Charnwood district, on the northern part of Leicestershire, England. With a population of 60,000 people (2012 estimate), it is the biggest town and second most populous settlement in Leicestershire after the city of Leicester.
Loughborough holds the distinction of being the destination of the world's first package tour, organized by Thomas Cook in 1841 for a group of 540 temperance campaigners in Leicester. The folks were going to Loughborough to hold a rally against alcohol.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
