About Whitwick

Whitwick, a village in the North West Leicestershire district, carries the quiet dignity of places that have long observed the turning of the seasons. It lies 2.1 km north of Coalville (from Coalville: bearing 10°T, OS grid SK 436 159), and is situated south-east of Thringstone village. The land around Whitwick, a gentle rise and fall of fields, often takes on a soft, hazy light in the late afternoon, a glow that seems to settle upon the ancient church of St. John the Baptist. For generations, the industry of coal mining, though now largely a memory, left its indelible mark, a history reflected in the sturdy, practical architecture of many older homes. The village green, a modest expanse, still serves as a gathering place, its well-trodden turf bearing witness to countless games and conversations. Even now, a certain solidity of character pervades Whitwick, a sense of enduring presence in the heart of the East Midlands.
