About Charnwood
The Borough of Charnwood lies at the heart of the East Midlands, with the major cities of Nottingham & Derby to the north, and Leicester to the south. Loughborough is the main town and has become a major centre for advanced technology, being particularly strong in engineering, health care & pharmaceuticals and energy research & development, and underpinned by one of the country's leading universities. Its population of over 150,000 live in friendly towns & villages set in attractive countryside.
Its excellent communications links with all parts of the country by motorway (J23 of M1 with easy links to other motorways), rail (direct connections to London, Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield, and East Anglia) and air (East Midlands Airport with services to major European cities is only 20 minutes away) make it a superb location for business.
Despite being a hotbed of technological and business activity, Loughborough is still a pleasant bustling market town that does not suffer the acute congestion of neighbouring cities. Charnwood Forest, from which the Borough takes its name, lies to the west of the Borough and it borders the new National Forest. It boasts delightful scenery carved from some of the oldest rocks in England, laid down 700 million years ago when Charnwood was a literally a hotbed (of volcanic activity).
