Fenny Drayton is a small rural village in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire, England. Nestled in gently rolling farmland, it is best known for the claim to be the geographical centre of England, a point traditionally marked near the village at Lindley Hall Farm; its name hints at fenland origins and a long agricultural heritage.
The community is compact and village‑centred, with a historic parish church and several listed cottages, and sits close to the famous Bosworth battlefield area around Market Bosworth. Many residents commute to nearby towns such as Hinckley or Leicester, but the local economy remains largely rural and the village retains a quiet, heritage‑minded social life popular with walkers and local history enthusiasts.
