Ellistown & Battleflat sits to the west of Coalville in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire. It covers the former mining village of Ellistown and the smaller, more rural settlement of Battleflat, so the character shifts quickly from red‑brick terraces and mining heritage to farmland and scattered cottages.
After the collieries closed the area became largely residential, with many people commuting to Leicester and other nearby towns, while local community halls, pubs and walking routes across reclaimed colliery land help keep a strong local identity; simple industrial archaeology and accessible countryside mean the industrial past and rural present sit side by side.
