Husbands Bosworth sits on a high ridge in southern Leicestershire, roughly six miles east of Lutterworth and right on the border with Northamptonshire. It’s an old crossroads village where the A4304 meets the A5199, positioned almost exactly halfway between Market Harborough and the M1 motorway. Historically, it was a significant stop on the coaching route from London to Leicester, and you can still see that legacy in the layout of the high street and the various former inns. Today, the village is probably best known for the Grand Union Canal which passes through the village’s southern edge via the 1,166-yard Husbands Bosworth Tunnel. It’s a practical location; while you have the quiet of the rural surroundings and the local glider club nearby, you’re only a short drive from the mainline rail links at Market Harborough or Rugby. The village remains a working landscape, anchored by its primary school, a local medical centre, and a range of brick-built architecture that spans several centuries.
