Location Donisthorpe village is located approximately three miles south west of Ashby de la Zouch, located in the county of North West Leicestershire. The river Mease runs through the

village with the centre of the village situated on the southern side of the river. Donisthorpe has two public houses, a village shop and is served by a local primary school and is within catchment for Ivanhoe College and Ashby School. The village

was home to Donisthorpe colliery, where the pit closed in 1990. At the time of the pit closure Donisthorpe was very much a mining village with a strong community. The colliery site has since become part of the Donisthorpe Woodland Park

with land acquired from British Coal forming part of the National Forest with the woodland parks connecting to the Wolds Heritage Trail, Moira Furnace, canal and the National Forest Centre at Moira.
