The Loughborough Outwoods & Shelthorpe ward in Charnwood, Leicestershire, England sits on the western edge of the market town of Loughborough, combining the suburban neighbourhood of Shelthorpe with the well‑wooded public recreation area known as The Outwoods. It mixes predominantly residential streets, local shops and schools with easy access to the town centre and to Loughborough University, so the local economy is largely driven by services, retail and the student population.
A distinctive feature is The Outwoods, a popular green space for walking, wildlife and community activity that gives the area a semi‑rural feel despite its urban setting; Shelthorpe itself has a strong local identity with active residents' groups and leisure facilities. The ward reflects both historic ties to the market town and modern suburban development, making it a practical and sociable place to live.
