Coleorton is a village and civil parish in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England. Tucked into rolling Leicestershire countryside, it sits close to Coalville and Ashby-de-la-Zouch and falls within the area of The National Forest, which makes it popular for countryside walks and outdoor leisure.
Historically part of the county’s coal‑mining belt, the village expanded around local collieries in the 19th century; that industrial heritage now sits alongside the estate and park of Coleorton Hall and a mixed local economy of commuters, small businesses and leisure facilities. The community remains fairly small but active, with parish events and local clubs giving it a distinct village feel.
