Carlton is a village in Leicestershire, England, close to Market Bosworth.
There are four roads in Carlton: Main Street (where most of the population is centred), Bosworth Road (at the east end of the village leading south to Market Bosworth and north to Barton-in-the-Beans), Congerstone Lane (at the west end of the village) and Shackerstone Walk (formerly Occupation Road).
The village has a pub, The Gate Hangs Well, and a church, Saint Andrew's.
The Village has a strong community spirit and there are regular parties and events for fundraising causes such as the church. There is an Investment Club which meets in members' houses once a month (see external link below). The local fox hunt often meets in one of the farms on Shackerstone Walk.
