About Field Head

Field Head emerges from the Leicestershire landscape as a quiet junction of lanes where the rolling topography of the East Midlands begins to sharpen into distinct ridges. It lies 4.8 miles east-south-east of Coalville (from Coalville: bearing 123°T, OS grid SK 499 096), and is situated east-south-east of Markfield village. The atmosphere here is shaped by the proximity of the ancient Charnwood Forest, which casts long, cool shadows across the fields as the afternoon light wanes. To the north, the protected enclosure of the Ulverscroft Valley SSSI offers a sanctuary of diverse flora, preserving a wilder character that contrasts with the domestic order of the nearby homes. Field Head serves as a gateway to this rugged terrain, where the air holds the faint, metallic scent of the distant Cliffe Hill Quarry. Residents often look toward the heights of White Hill, whose prominence provides a sturdy, geological anchor to the horizon. This transition between the industrial legacy of the region and the enduring quietude of the hills grants the surroundings a contemplative stillness. Through every season, the sky above Field Head remains vast and expansive, reflecting the shifting patterns of the clouds that drift over the central English plains.
