About

Valley ward encompasses several villages situated within the Charnwood Forest region, characterised by its undulating landscape and mixed woodland. The area includes settlements like Oakthorpe and Donisthorpe, which developed historically around coal mining and forestry. The topography is defined by small valleys and heathland, with agriculture and smaller-scale industry forming the economic base.

A network of public footpaths and bridleways crosses the ward, connecting communities through the rural terrain. The area is traversed by the Ashby Woulds Heritage Trail, a route following a former railway line. Local landmarks include the preserved mining wheel at Donisthorpe, reflecting the area's industrial past within its now predominantly green setting.
