About Cropston

Cropston, a quiet corner of the Charnwood district, holds a gentle aspect under the East Midlands sky. It lies 7.4 km north-north-west of Leicester (from Leicester: bearing 333°T, OS grid SK 553 108), and is situated west of Thurcaston village. The land here, a soft rolling terrain, has long been shaped by the labours of agriculture, the fields catching the light in broad, sun-washed swathes that speak of enduring cycles. A particular charm resides in the ancient trees that line the lanes, their leaves rustling secrets of seasons past, and in the sturdy stone of the older dwellings, weathered by countless winds. The air, especially in the early mornings, carries a clean scent, a blend of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a subtle perfume that is uniquely Cropston's own.
