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.
