CPRE Leicestershire

The Leicestershire Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England

Formerly the Council for the Protection of Rural England

Our Mission

CPRE is a voice for everyone who wants to save our Leicestershire countryside. We believe that thoughtful planning is vital to the future of the countryside. We will continue our increasingly successful influence on national, regional and local planning policies. We want to see the countryside protected and enhanced, while the City and towns become more attractive places to live.

What's special about Leicestershire?

Leicestershire is one of the smallest counties in England. Throughout most of the county the landscape is characterised by rolling farmland dotted with Jacobean and Georgian country houses and a regular patchwork of fields bounded by hawthorn hedgerows. In contrast Charnwood Forest, in the northwest, is notable for its rugged beauty, with outcrops of ancient rocks and expanses of heath land and historic woodlands.
