About

The Worthington & Breedon ward covers a rural expanse in the eastern part of North West Leicestershire, characterised by rolling farmland and scattered settlements. It includes the villages of Worthington and Breedon on the Hill, alongside smaller communities like Wilson and the hamlets of Tonge and Staunton Harold. The landscape is defined by agricultural fields and quiet country lanes, with a notable presence of historic limestone quarrying that has shaped the local topography and economy over centuries.

A dominant feature is the elevated Church of St Mary and St Hardulph in Breedon on the Hill, its prominent position overlooking the surrounding Trent Valley a testament to the area's long history. The ward contains several large country estates, including the grounds of Staunton Harold Hall. Local life centres on the village halls, pubs, and the primary school in Worthington, with commuting to nearby towns like Ashby-de-la-Zouch for broader services.
