Moving to Hinckley

Hinckley is nestled in the heart of the East Midlands, located between Leicester and Nuneaton. It offers a balance of history and modern amenities, having started life as a Roman settlement, named by the Saxons with the suffix ‘ley’ meaning ‘clearing in the woodland’. By the Middle Ages, Hinckley had grown into a prosperous market town and, today, it still retains this provincial feel.

Hinckley is a popular town for families to move to due to excellent local schools, affordable homes, and good transport links. It has an urban feel with great access to the countryside.
