Burbage
Burbage is an attractive Leicestershire village, although today it is effectively a suburb of Hinckley.
St. Catherine's Church, dating back to the 13th century, stands in a churchyard with a profusion of trees, and just outside is a pretty black and white timber framed cottage.
In one of the fine Georgian houses in the main street, the politician George Canning, later to be briefly Prime Minister, lived for three years.
The Horsepool, once used for working horses to drink from, has been transformed into an attractive garden.
Burbage Common is a popular open space, and important for its wildlife.
Blue Badge Guide Colin Crosby is available to lead Guided Walks around Burbage for groups.
