South Croxton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Charnwood, Leicestershire, England. It sits amid the rolling farmland and hedgerows typical of rural Leicestershire, with a compact core of stone and brick cottages and a modest parish church that hints at medieval origins and later agricultural prosperity.
Historically centred on farming, the village still feels very rural while many residents now commute to nearby centres such as Leicester. Social life is shaped by a close-knit community, local clubs, occasional village fetes and the traditional village pub and hall, and the built environment includes several older buildings and farmhouses that reflect its long local history.
