Woodhouse is a small village and civil parish tucked into the rolling countryside of Charnwood in Leicestershire, England, lying a few miles from Loughborough and on the edge of the Charnwood Forest landscape. Its setting gives easy access to well‑known local landmarks such as Beacon Hill and Bradgate Park, making it popular with walkers and visitors as well as residents who value the mix of rural character and nearby town amenities.
Historically a rural community with roots back to the medieval period, the village retains stone cottages, a village green feel and an active local life centred on village halls and pubs; economically it combines small local businesses and agriculture with a significant commuting population to Loughborough and Leicester. Past industries such as quarrying and farming have left their mark on the landscape, while today the parish balances conservation, community events and modest tourism from the adjacent country parks.
