About

Bosworth ward encompasses a largely rural area within the Harborough district. It includes several villages such as Husbands Bosworth, Theddingworth, and Welford, characterised by farmland and traditional stone buildings. The landscape is defined by rolling fields and small woodland areas, with the A5199 and A4304 roads providing key transport routes through the region. Local life centres around village community hubs, including primary schools and parish churches.

The area is historically significant, with its name derived from the nearby site of the Battle of Bosworth Field, though the battlefield itself lies outside the ward boundary. A notable local feature is the Foxton Locks, a major flight of staircase locks on the Grand Union Canal, which attracts visitors for its engineering and boating activity. The ward's economy remains primarily agricultural, with some light industry and tourism related to the canal network.
