About Leicester Forest West

Leicester Forest West rests on the gentle slopes of Leicestershire, its character shaped by the ancient woodlands that once dominated this landscape. It lies 5.8 km north-east of Earl Shilton (from Earl Shilton: bearing 40°T, OS grid SK 502 022), and is situated south-west of Kirby Muxloe village. The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, seems to hold a softness, a diffused glow that catches the edges of the low, red-brick houses and the enduring trunks of mature trees. Though the forest itself has receded, its spirit lingers in the names of its lanes and the quiet way the land falls and rises, a subtle echo of a wilder past. The village green, a patch of well-worn grass, often hums with the low thrum of children's voices and the distant rumble of traffic on the nearby road, a modern counterpoint to the enduring peace of Leicester Forest West.
