Anstey is a residential ward in the district of Charnwood, Leicestershire, lying just north of the city of Leicester in England. It occupies the fringe between suburban Leicester and the woodlands and rolling hills of the wider Charnwood area, so it’s popular with commuters while also offering easy access to local countryside walks.
The ward blends a compact historic core and stretches of Victorian and later housing with a parade of local shops, pubs and community facilities. Like many places in the county it has roots in the hosiery and framework‑knitting trades but today functions largely as a residential community with small businesses, active local groups and green spaces that contribute to a strong neighbourhood feel.
