The parish of Higham on the Hill is a small, primarily rural community in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth, Leicestershire, England. Set among rolling farmland and country lanes, the village retains a parish church, a village school and a number of older cottages and farm buildings that reflect its long, largely agricultural history.
Although farming still shapes the local landscape, the parish’s good road links have brought a degree of commuter settlement and a mixed social character. Local life tends to centre on the church, village hall and community events, while nearby towns such as Hinckley and Nuneaton provide wider shopping and services.
