Carlton is a small, largely rural village in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth in Leicestershire, England, set among rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes. It sits close to the market town of Market Bosworth and is within easy commuting distance of Leicester and Coventry, so the parish combines a quiet village feel with practical links to larger urban centres.
Historically the area is agricultural and its name reflects old English roots, and the locality benefits from being near the famous Battle of Bosworth Field which brings a strand of heritage tourism; today the village life centres on a small, active community with farms, a few local businesses and residents who often work or socialise in neighbouring towns. The settlement’s character is marked by traditional cottages, country lanes and a strong sense of local identity rather than high‑street amenities.
