About

Stoney Stanton, Sapcote and Sharnford form a cluster of villages in the Blaby district, situated between Leicester and Hinckley. The area is characterised by its rural setting, with farmland and open fields separating the settlements. Historically, the local economy was connected to the hosiery industry and granite quarrying, with some former workings now filled as water features. The villages maintain their own distinct identities and community facilities.

The area is served by the B582 road, which connects the communities. Each village has its own parish council and a mix of older properties and newer housing developments. A notable local landmark is the large, disused Sapcote quarry, a reminder of the area's industrial past. The overall feel is of separate, established villages within a working agricultural landscape, rather than a single merged conurbation.
