Normanton le Heath is a small, gently rural parish in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, tucked among farmland and reclaimed heathland on the fringe of the old Leicestershire coalfield. The landscape is a mix of quiet lanes, public footpaths and pockets of restored woodland and grassland, making it popular with walkers and wildlife watchers while keeping a largely agricultural character.
Historically the name hints at medieval or Norman origins and the area still shows traces of ridge-and-furrow and other earthworks from earlier farming; later coal-working in the wider district influenced local employment and land use. Today the community is small and closely linked to neighbouring towns such as Coalville and Ashby de la Zouch, serving as a peaceful residential and rural spot with a local, village-scale social life rather than any major commercial centre.
