Carlton is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth in Leicestershire. It has a quiet, agricultural character with a compact historic core of brick and stone cottages and a parish church, and the feel of a close-knit community rather than a busy commuter suburb.
The locality is notable for its long history and pleasant countryside setting, with footpaths and lanes linking it to nearby settlements such as Market Bosworth and the wider Bosworth Battlefield area. Economically the village remains centred on farming and small local enterprises, while many residents travel to larger towns for work; village life is marked by occasional local events and an interest in conserving its historic and rural character.
