The civil parish of Hugglescote and Donington le Heath lies in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, just west of Coalville. It’s a semi‑rural mix of older cottages and more modern housing, green spaces and local shops, shaped historically by the nearby coal workings around Snibston and the industrial activity of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Today the area is largely residential and commuter‑oriented but retains strong community life and heritage interest, most notably Donington le Heath Manor House, one of the county’s oldest domestic buildings now presented as a small museum; walking routes and local groups help preserve a village feel despite proximity to larger towns.
