Higham on the Hill is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Hinckley and Bosworth, Leicestershire, England, set on gently rising ground a few miles west of Hinckley and close to the Warwickshire border. Its surrounding patchwork of arable fields and hedgerows gives it a distinctly rural character, while relatively good road links make it a quiet commuter spot for nearby towns such as Coventry, Nuneaton and Leicester.
The village retains typical features of an English rural community - a parish church, village hall and local groups - and its economy combines farming with residents who travel for work in neighbouring centres. Local history is visible in the landscape and records, and the parish’s proximity to sites associated with the Battle of Bosworth adds historic interest for visitors and locals alike, making it popular with those who want country living with easy access to urban amenities.
