About Blackfordby

Blackfordby maintains a quiet composure atop the rolling folds of the Leicestershire landscape, where the brick-built heritage of the Midlands meets the encroaching green of the National Forest. It lies 1.9 miles west-north-west of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (from Ashby-de-la-Zouch: bearing 294°T, OS grid SK 329 179), and is situated south-east of Woodville village. The sunlight here often catches the slate roofs with a pale, sharp clarity, illuminating the narrow lanes that wind through the heart of Blackfordby. To the south-west, the rise of Hanging Hill provides a natural vantage point over the fields, offering a perspective on how the land dips and gathers toward the horizon. A short distance to the east, the curated collections of the Bluebell Arboretum introduce an intentional, vibrant geometry to the wilder periphery of the terrain. The architecture throughout Blackfordby retains a sturdy, unassuming character, reflecting a past rooted in coal mining and the heavy, honest labour of the potteries. Even now, the air carries a crispness that suggests the proximity of open country, detached from the frantic pace of the nearby industrial hubs. Such a place exists in a state of deliberate endurance, neither fading into obscurity nor clamouring for attention.
