The ward of Twycross, Witherley and Sheepy sits in the north‑west of the borough of Hinckley and Bosworth in south‑west Leicestershire, an essentially rural patch of villages, farms and hedged lanes close to the county boundary with Warwickshire. It is best known for Twycross Zoo, a nationally significant visitor attraction and local employer, while agriculture, small businesses and some commuting to nearby towns such as Hinckley and Nuneaton help shape the local economy.
Village centres with medieval churches, timbered cottages, village halls and traditional pubs give the area a strong community feel; local clubs and annual events keep social life lively. The rolling countryside and conservation-minded spaces make it popular with walkers and families, so the ward combines quiet rural character with the occasional tourist bustle brought by the zoo and nearby urban centres.
