About Coleorton

Coleorton, a quiet corner of North West Leicestershire, breathes with a gentle, rural charm. It lies 4.6 km east of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (from Ashby-de-la-Zouch: bearing 81°T, OS grid SK 403 174), and is situated north-west of Swannington village. The land here rolls with a subtle grace, hinting at the ancient fields that have shaped its character for centuries, where sunlight often falls with a soft, forgiving light upon the hedgerows. Historically, Coleorton was closely associated with the important geological and mining industries of the region, a legacy that still whispers in the contours of the landscape. The parish church, St. George's, stands as a quiet sentinel, its stone weathered by the passage of time and the changing seasons. Though its industrial past has receded, a sense of enduring connection to the earth remains, a quiet strength in the heart of the East Midlands.
