About

Thurmaston sits in the borough of Charnwood in Leicestershire, immediately northeast of the city of Leicester. The A607 Melton Road runs through the centre, linking the village with Leicester and towns northwards. The River Soar and its valley lie close to the west of the settlement, and the neighbouring town of Syston abuts the parish boundary. Residential streets of different eras spread out from the older village core, which retains local shops and a small cluster of services.

Local provision includes primary schools, a community centre, pubs and a health facility, with a retail park and industrial area along Melton Road providing most daily needs and employment. The area has sports pitches, pocket parks and riverside paths used by walkers and cyclists, and community groups organise regular events. Public transport links run into Leicester and the surrounding villages, and road access makes the area a practical base for people working across Charnwood and the wider county.
