Nailstone is a small village and civil parish in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth, in Leicestershire, England. set in a rural landscape near Market Bosworth, it retains a compact, village character while being within reasonable commuting distance of larger centres such as Leicester.
Historically the community grew from agriculture and later coal mining in the 19th and 20th centuries; the colliery is long closed and much of the former industrial land has been reclaimed, leaving hedged farmland and pockets of post‑industrial landscape. Today Nailstone is best known for its tight‑knit community, village amenities and the quiet, historic feel of its streets and surrounding countryside.
