Ravenstone with Snibstone is a small, largely rural parish in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, sitting a few miles from the former coal‑mining town of Coalville and the market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The area is dominated by farmland and village streets, with pockets of reclaimed colliery landscape and pleasant walking routes that reveal a mix of agricultural and industrial past.
The parish has medieval roots and a handful of historic buildings, and its character was shaped in more recent times by the nearby coalfield and the long-standing Snibston industrial heritage nearby. Community life is typical of small Leicestershire villages - close‑knit local groups, occasional village events and a commuter connection into surrounding towns - making it quiet and picturesque but tied into the region’s industrial history.
