Hathern is a village and civil parish in the borough of Charnwood, in Leicestershire, England. Sitting on the fringe of the East Midlands’ rolling countryside and within easy reach of Loughborough, it combines a compact historic core of cottages and a parish church with later Victorian and modern housing, and enjoys views across agricultural land that highlight its semi-rural character.
The village has medieval roots and grew through local trades in the 18th and 19th centuries; today it functions largely as a local centre and commuter community with a primary school, pubs, small shops and an active village hall. Community life is quite engaged - annual fetes, clubs and conservation-minded efforts keep a strong social feel while residents commute to nearby towns for work and wider services.
