About

Hugglescote sits within North West Leicestershire as a village with streets of older housing, small shops and community facilities that grew around 19th-century industries. The settlement lies close to open farmland and the slopes rising to Bardon Hill, and local paths link the village to lanes and woodlands. Remnants of industrial activity are visible in field boundaries and former track routes, and the parish retains a mix of working land and residential streets used by commuters and local businesses.

Bardon Hill rises immediately south of Hugglescote and is known for Bardon Hill Quarry, where large rock faces and terraces mark decades of extraction. The hill’s summit, at 278 metres (912 feet), is the highest point in Leicestershire, and a network of public footpaths and permissive routes allows access around the quarry edges and the summit area. The combination of quarry workings, woodland pockets and grassy slopes shapes the local landscape and provides a clear sense of how geology and industry meet in this part of the county.
