Nicely nestled in North West Leicestershire, Coalville, with its population of just under 35,000, holds fast to its roots in coal mining, vividly reflected in its evocative name. The town edges the alluring Charnwood Forest to the east, presenting a feast of natural beauty in its captivating contrast to the urban expanse of Leicester nearby.

The town's evolution from a humble track titled 'Long Lane' in the 19th century to a substantial urban area is narrated by its historic railway links with Leicester. Coalville's illustrious past as the cradle of popular toy manufacturing by Palitoy, and its present role as a significant logistics hub hosting Amazon's major UK fulfillment centre, depict a vignette of dynamic growth coupled with robust industrial heritage.

With its diverse religious history, thoughtfully etched in numerous chapels, free churches, and the remarkable parish church of Christ Church, and vibrant social offerings symbolised by its French twin town – Romans-sur-Isère – Coalville proves to be more than a simple pit-stop for travellers.
