Location

Situated in the north-western corner of Leicestershire, Blackfordby is a charming and well-regarded village offering an appealing blend of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. Located approximately two miles from the historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and equally close to Swadlincote, the village enjoys easy access to a wide range of amenities while retaining its peaceful countryside setting.
The village benefits from a strong sense of community, supported by the highly regarded Blackfordby St Margaret’s Church of England Primary School and an active, award-winning village hall hosting regular events and activities. At its heart is The Black Lion, a traditional village pub, much enjoyed by residents for its welcoming atmosphere and relaxed dining.
Surrounded by attractive countryside, Blackfordby lies on the edge of the National Forest, with excellent access to walking and cycling routes including the National Forest Way and Ashby Woulds Heritage Trail, making it ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors.
Despite its rural character, the village is well connected, with convenient access to the A511 and A42, providing links to Burton-upon-Trent, Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Birmingham, while East Midlands Airport is within easy reach.
