Long Whatton is a small village in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, sitting a few miles west of Loughborough and within easy reach of the M1 and East Midlands Airport. It occupies gently rolling farmland and is threaded with public footpaths, so it feels rural despite being convenient for larger towns and transport links.
The village has a typically English mix of a historic parish church (St Andrew’s), a village hall, a couple of pubs and a primary school, and it now forms part of the civil parish of Long Whatton and Diseworth. Economically it functions largely as a commuter and local-service community for nearby centres such as Loughborough, Nottingham and Derby, while motorsport and events at Donington Park and activity around the airport give the area extra variety.
