Hugglescote is a sizeable village on the outskirts of Coalville in the district of North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England. It sits in a patchwork of farmland and former industrial land, with 19th‑century housing that reflects its growth during the coal and quarrying era and reasonably direct road links into Leicester and surrounding towns.
The village retains a strong local identity with community groups, a handful of pubs and shops, and green spaces that sit alongside traces of its industrial past such as disused rail and quarry corridors now used by walkers and cyclists. While the local economy is largely residential and service‑orientated today, the historic mining and quarrying heritage remains visible in the built environment and in local memory.
