Shearsby, Leicestershire

SITUATION

The attractive village of Shearsby is set in Leicestershire countryside approximately 9 miles South of Leicester and equidistance to Lutterworth and the medieval market town of Market Harborough, which both provide extensive facilities and a range of independent boutique shopping, restaurants, bars and hotels as well as supermarkets including a Waitrose. Recreational activities are plentiful for all age groups with nearby golf courses including Ullesthorpe, Lutterworth, Market Harborough, and Kilworth Springs. Situated between the two towns is the innovative Kilworth open-air theatre set under sail-like canopies within the grounds of Kilworth House Hotel.
