Anstey Leicestershire Map

About Anstey

Anstey, a place where ancient pathways converge, whispers tales of its enduring presence. It lies 5.7 km north-west of Leicester (from Leicester: bearing 320°T, OS grid SK 550 086), and is situated south of Cropston village. The gentle slopes surrounding Anstey carry a particular quality of light, catching the low sun in a way that seems to gild the hedgerows with a fleeting, amber radiance. Its heart beats around a village green, a verdant stage upon which generations have gathered, and the weathered stone of St. Mary’s Church stands as a sentinel, its spire a quiet aspiration against the pale East Midlands sky. The air here often carries the faint, earthy scent of the surrounding farmland, a constant reminder of Anstey's deep roots in the soil of Leicestershire.
