Osgathorpe is a small rural village and civil parish in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, set among rolling farmland and hedgerows on the western fringe of the county. It sits a short drive from market towns such as Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Coalville, and lies close to areas involved in the National Forest planting initiative, giving a mix of pastoral and newly wooded scenery.
The village has a quiet, close-knit feel, with a handful of historic cottages, a parish church and links to the region’s agricultural and former coalfield economy; many residents now commute to nearby towns. Its name reflects the area’s long settlement history and the landscape still shows the layered influence of farming, 19th- and 20th-century mining activity nearby, and contemporary rural conservation efforts.
