Stanton-under-Bardon is a small rural parish in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth, set on the western edge of Leicestershire countryside. The village sits at the feet of Bardon Hill, the county’s highest point, and enjoys sweeping views across the Midlands; its compact settlement, village hall and historic parish church give it a quietly traditional English village feel while being within easy reach of Leicester and nearby Coalville.
What really marks the area is the huge granite outcrop and quarrying landscape of Bardon Hill, which has shaped the local economy and identity for well over a century. The quarrying and associated industry sit alongside pockets of important geology and wildlife interest, and walkers use the hill’s summit and surrounding paths for recreation; the community is a mix of long-standing local families and commuters attracted by the rural setting.
