Shackerstone is a small, largely rural parish in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth, in Leicestershire, England. The area is characterised by farmland, timber‑framed cottages and a medieval parish church, giving it a quiet, conservation‑minded village feel while many residents commute to nearby towns for work.
The parish punches above its weight for visitors thanks to its transport heritage: Shackerstone Station on the preserved Battlefield Line Railway and the restored basin of the Ashby Canal host steam galas, 1940s weekends and boating events, helping a modest local tourism economy and fostering a strong volunteer and community spirit around restoration and village fêtes.
