About

Hinckley and Bosworth is a local government district in southwest Leicestershire, centred on the town of Hinckley and including Market Bosworth, Earl Shilton, Barwell, Burbage and Groby. The M69 crosses the district, linking it to Leicester and Coventry, and a network of A-roads gives access to surrounding counties. The landscape mixes farmland, small woodlands and parts of the National Forest planting programme, with settlements set along valley lines and parish lanes rather than a single urban sprawl.

The district has an industrial past rooted in hosiery and knitwear and a present that includes engineering and manufacturing, most visibly in Hinckley. Market Bosworth and the neighbouring country park record a key moment in 1485 when Henry Tudor’s forces defeated Richard III; the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre at Sutton Cheney interprets that history on the ground where it happened. Local life combines working towns, village services, walking routes and community events anchored in parish centres and market towns.
