About

Whitwick is a village and civil parish in North West Leicestershire, adjacent to Coalville. The settlement is organised around a high street and a network of residential roads, with a parish church and local schools serving the area. Small shops, community centres and sports facilities provide everyday services for residents. Public transport and road links connect Whitwick with neighbouring towns and employment centres in the region.

The village grew significantly during the industrial period as part of the Leicestershire coalfield; it sits on Coal Measures geology and traces of former mining activity remain in the layout of streets and some reclaimed sites. Terraced housing from the mining era stands alongside later housing developments, and several green spaces occupy former industrial plots. Local groups maintain heritage records and community events that draw on the village’s mining past while supporting current services and amenities.
