Lockington-Hemington is a small civil parish in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, made up of the twin villages of Lockington and Hemington set in largely flat, agricultural countryside. The parish sits within easy reach of transport links such as East Midlands Airport and the M1/A42 corridor and is close to the market town of Castle Donington, which gives it good connections despite its rural feel.
Historically rooted in farming and village life, the area still shows traditional lanes and village churches while recent decades have seen employment drawn to nearby logistics and airport-related industry, so many locals commute to regional centres. Community activities, a quiet village atmosphere and the juxtaposition of working farmland with modern distribution hubs make it a characterful, well‑connected part of rural Leicestershire.
