Hinckley hotels

An historic market town that has existed since before the Norman Conquest, Hinckley is near the Leicestershire-Warwickshire border, and has been the home of the Hinckley Rugby Club since 1893. It has good links the M69, M6 and Birmingham Airport, and is close to many deluxe and budget friendly Leicestershire hotels.

A Market Settlement Since Medieval Times

Hinckley has held a regular market since at least the early 14th Century, and it is estimated that this area of Leicestershire was inhabited before the Roman invasion. For years, the town was noted for its successful hosiery businesses, although it remained a relatively quiet rural community until the late 20th Century, when many new residential developments were built around the centre.
