Wanlip Leicestershire Map

About Wanlip

Wanlip graces the Charnwood district, a quiet corner of Leicestershire where the land gently slopes towards the River Soar. It lies 2.9 km west-south-west of Syston (from Syston: bearing 253°T, OS grid SK 599 108), and is situated east-south-east of Broadnook village. The fields surrounding Wanlip, often catching the soft, diffused light of the East Midlands, bear the quiet imprint of generations of agriculture, their hedgerows a rich tapestry of hawthorn and bramble. St Michael's Church, a modest but venerable structure, stands as a focal point, its stone weathered to a pleasing grey, whispering tales of past parishioners. The air here often carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and distant woodland, a testament to the enduring connection between Wanlip and its rural setting. Though small, Wanlip possesses a singular character, a tranquil existence undisturbed by the clamour of larger settlements.
