Thringstone is an electoral ward in the district of North West Leicestershire, in the county of Leicestershire, England. It sits on the southern edge of the Coalville area and combines a compact village core with surrounding suburban and semi‑rural neighbourhoods; the landscape still shows echoes of the 19th‑ and early‑20th‑century coal and quarrying industries that shaped the locality.
Today the ward is largely residential, with much local life centred on village halls, pubs and community groups, while many people commute to nearby towns and cities. Former industrial sites and local lanes provide pleasant walking routes and pockets of green space, so Thringstone mixes a tangible industrial heritage with a quieter, community‑focused present.
