Worthington is a small rural civil parish in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, situated a few miles west of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It occupies rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined fields close to the edge of the National Forest, so the landscape mixes traditional agricultural land with pockets of newer woodland planting.
The settlement has medieval roots and a compact historic core of stone and brick buildings; the local economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work. Social life is typical of a small Leicestershire village, organised around a village hall, community groups and occasional local events that sustain a close-knit, steady community spirit.
