About

Bardon ward lies in the far south of North West Leicestershire, characterised by a landscape shaped by quarrying and industry. The area is dominated by Bardon Hill, the highest point in the county, and the extensive workings of the Bardon Hill Quarry. This creates a distinct terrain of industrial infrastructure set against wooded slopes and remnants of older agricultural land.

The settlement pattern is sparse, with the ward primarily containing the villages of Bardon and Heather. The area is defined by major transport corridors, including the M1 motorway and the A511 road, which frame its eastern boundary. Community life centres on these villages, with the surrounding land largely given over to the ongoing mineral extraction that has defined the local economy for generations.
