Witherley is a village and civil parish in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire, England, sitting close to the county boundary with Warwickshire and near the course of the River Anker. Its location just a few miles from the Warwickshire town of Atherstone gives it a rural yet well‑connected feel, with quiet lanes and farmland surrounding a compact historic core.
Historically an agricultural community, Witherley retains a traditional village atmosphere with a parish church and village hall at its heart; many residents now commute to nearby centres such as Nuneaton and Hinckley. Local life is shaped by community events, countryside walks and the mix of older buildings and more recent housing that reflects its gradual shift from purely rural economy to a semi‑rural commuter village.
