Packington is a rural village in Leicestershire, England.

Our iconic Packington Pinfold stands at the North approach of our village

As well as our vibrant community, our village has some historic buildings, like this in Mill Street

Another historic building in Babelake Street, the start of an ancient trail to Coventry

By contrast, we have a bright modern Memorial Hall, brand-new in December 2009, for use by our active groups and our near-neighbour communitites.

Our village school has bright modern extensions to an earlier building, and serves our village and close areas of  nearby town Ashby de la Zouch

Our village church has a strong community presence, a welcoming aspect, a building that dates from the 12th-Century, and stands at the West of the village, tribute to generations of Packington people.
