Places to stay in Laughton
Laughton lies thirteen miles south-south-east of Leicester in the hills along the Northamptonshire border. The roughly triangular-shaped parish has an area of 1,151 a. Most of the parish lies above 500 ft. and the Laughton Hills, in the south, exceed 550 ft. The ground falls in the north, towards the reservoir in Gumley and Saddington, and in the west, down to the Saddington brook which forms much of the parish boundary on that side. Field boundaries form the parish boundary on the east, and on the south the boundary lies along the steep south-facing slope of the hills. The soil is chiefly clay, with some gravel, and the land is mostly under pasture. Several small woods lie on the slope of the hills in the south. There are disused gravel workings west of the village.
