The ward sits in the western part of Hinckley and Bosworth district in Leicestershire, England, combining the small market town of Market Bosworth with the rural villages of Cadeby and Carlton and the riverside village of Shackerstone. Market Bosworth is best known for its attractive market square, timber‑framed streets and close association with the nearby Bosworth Field, the 1485 battle site that draws walkers and history enthusiasts to the surrounding countryside.

Shackerstone provides a strong tourism and community focus through the Battlefield Line heritage railway and regular steam galas, while Cadeby and Carlton retain an agricultural character with active village halls, pubs and local clubs. The local economy is a mix of farming, small businesses and visitor services, with many residents commuting to Leicester and other towns; the area’s rolling farmland and patches of woodland on the fringe of the National Forest make it popular for country walks and outdoor events.
