Ravenstone sits just off the A511, about two miles west of Coalville, and functions as a quiet village on the doorstep of the National Forest. Historically, the village was split between Leicestershire and Derbyshire for centuries - a quirk finally resolved in the late 1800s - and it still maintains a distinct character separate from its larger industrial neighbour. At its heart lies the 14th-century St Michael and All Angels Church and the notable Queen’s Hospital almshouses, which provide a reminder of its pre-industrial roots. While the village has grown with newer developments in recent years, it remains bounded by open countryside; Sence Valley Forest Park is within easy walking distance, offering a network of trails over what was once an opencast mine. It is a practical spot for those needing to commute towards Leicester or Ashby-de-la-Zouch, providing a slower pace of life without losing quick access to the shops and services in Coalville.
