Osbaston is a small civil parish in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth in Leicestershire, England, lying close to the outskirts of the market town of Hinckley. It is predominantly rural in character, with a patchwork of working farmland, hedgerows and scattered farmsteads and cottages, giving open views across the rolling Leicestershire countryside while being within easy reach of town facilities.
The area has long agricultural roots and retains a quiet village feel, with a handful of historic buildings and lanes that hint at medieval origins. Economically the parish combines traditional farming with residents who commute to nearby towns and the wider Midlands, and socially it is defined by a small, locally minded community that values outdoor recreation, local events and the preservation of its rural character.
