Melton Mowbray is also said to be home of the phrase 'painting the town red', said to come from when the Marquess of Waterford and his hunting companions liberally applied red paint to buildings in the main street after a succesful hunt.

Melton Mowbray is served by rail, and lies on the Midland Main Line with services to Nottingham.
