Background
Description
The village is small but still benefits from several amenities including a village pub (The Red Lion), a Spar shop (which contains the Post office), a Newsagent's shop, three hairdressers, a fish and chip shop, an Indian takeaway and five local parks spread throughout the village. . At the edge of the village is Huncote Leisure Centre and further along the Forest Road, near to the M69 motorway, is the home of Leicester Animal Aid, a pet rescue centre. Huncote also has a woodyard, and a residential care home for the elderly. In October 2015, the post office was moved into the Spar shop and now caters for both needs.
