About Field Head

Field Head is a small settlement located along the A511, bordering the picturesque Charnwood Forest in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire. Characterized by ribbon development, it stretches from the summit of Bradgate Hill to the Coach and Horses pub.

This unique positioning and historical growth could be relevant for those exploring planning applications in the region.
