Kegworth sits in the district of North West Leicestershire in Leicestershire, snug beside the River Soar and within easy reach of the M1 and East Midlands Airport. Its location gives the area a mix of rural character and strong transport links, with nearby towns such as Loughborough and the city of Nottingham a short drive away.
Locally it feels like a traditional Midlands village with historic buildings, a medieval parish church and a handful of long‑standing pubs and shops, while economically many residents commute or work in airport‑related and light industrial jobs. The community is active and close‑knit, and the village is marked in recent history by the 1989 air disaster which had a profound local impact and is remembered by memorials and community responses.
