Packington Leicestershire Map

About Packington

Packington, a quiet hamlet in North West Leicestershire, holds a subtle charm. It lies 2.0 km south of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (from Ashby-de-la-Zouch: bearing 170°T, OS grid SK 361 147). The land around Packington gently falls away towards the River Mease, a waterway that has long shaped the character of this rural corner of the East Midlands. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, still trace the boundaries of fields where sheep graze, their fleece catching the soft, diffused light of English skies. The very air here seems to hold the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a testament to the enduring agricultural rhythms that have defined Packington for generations. A scattering of stone-built cottages, their roofs a mosaic of weathered tiles, cluster around a modest green, offering a sense of quiet permanence.
