The ward around Ravenstone and Packington sits in rural North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, a patchwork of rolling farmland and small villages just a short drive from the market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It benefits from proximity to the emerging National Forest and decent road links that make it popular with people commuting into Leicester and the surrounding towns.
Locally the area blends an agricultural economy with a strong sense of community - village halls, churches and pubs host traditional events - and both settlements carry a visible heritage: Ravenstone has a mining past while Packington retains a quieter, more estate-and-farm character. There are attractive lanes and footpaths for walking and wildlife, and small firms and farms increasingly diversify into tourism and local services.
