Charley is a small, rural civil parish in North West Leicestershire, in Leicestershire, England. It’s made up of scattered farms, a few hamlets and patches of woodland, with quiet country lanes and a patchwork of hedgerows and pasture that make it attractive for local walkers and those seeking a peaceful rural setting.
The local economy is largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Coalville and Ashby-de-la-Zouch or to Leicester for work and services. Social life centres on small community activities and the parish council; historically the area retains old farmhouses and field patterns reflecting its long farming heritage rather than any single big landmark.
