Coleorton is a rural village and civil parish in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, set on higher ground above the old Leicestershire coalfield and close to the new plantings of the National Forest. Its location near the market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch gives a mix of rolling farmland, reclaimed industrial land and pockets of woodland, with good opportunities for walking and country pursuits.
Historically the community grew around mining and estate life and the village is notable for Coleorton Hall, a country house with parkland and literary associations; since the colliery closures much of the local economy has shifted towards commuting, small local businesses and leisure activities, while a strong village identity is maintained through local events and amenities.
