The village and civil parish of Snarestone lies in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, set in a quietly rural part of the county not far from Ashby‑de‑la‑Zouch. It occupies a compact village core beside a restored stretch of the Ashby Canal, and is fringed by farmland and the newly planted areas of the National Forest, which together offer pleasant waterside and woodland walking.
Snarestone retains a strong sense of local history in its cottages, parish church and lanes, and the community is small but active. The canal basin and volunteer‑led restoration work have become a notable feature, attracting boaters and walkers and adding a modest tourism and conservation dimension to what remains primarily an agricultural locality.
