Peckleton Common is a small area of common land and hamlet adjoining the village of Peckleton in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire, England. It sits amid the rolling farmland and hedgerows typical of rural Leicestershire, offering local walks and pockets of wildlife; its location also means many residents look to nearby Hinckley or Leicester for work and services.
Like many commons it reflects long‑standing local rights and has social value as a community green, historically linked to grazing and small‑scale agriculture. Today the common is valued for informal recreation, local wildlife interest and as part of the wider rural character of the Peckleton parish rather than for any large economic activity.
