About Leicester Forest East

Leicester Forest East, a place of quietude and subtle transformations, finds its character in the gentle slope of its land towards the western horizons. It lies 5.8 km west of Leicester (from Leicester: bearing 261°T, OS grid SK 530 033), and is situated east-south-east of Kirby Muxloe village. The air here, particularly on a late afternoon in autumn, can carry a certain luminous quality, as if the very light itself has been filtered through the lingering memory of ancient woodland. Though no longer a forest in name, its proximity to the larger woodland areas lends a certain wildness to its character, a whisper of the deer that once roamed freely. The houses of Leicester Forest East, often built of brick that has mellowed with age, stand with a sturdy, unassuming presence, reflecting the practical spirit of its inhabitants. There is a sense of continuity, a feeling that life here has flowed with a steady, unhurried current, much like the small watercourses that trace their paths through the surrounding countryside.
