Ellistown is a small village in the district of North West Leicestershire in Leicestershire, England, lying a few miles west of Coalville and within easy commuting distance of Leicester. It grew up in the 19th century as a coal‑mining settlement established by the Ellis family, and the village still bears traces of that industrial past in its street pattern and older buildings.
Since the pits closed in the 20th century Ellistown has become largely residential with local amenities and community groups, alongside some light industry; social life retains a strong community feel rooted in its mining heritage, while many residents now commute to larger towns and cities nearby.
