Croft Hill, Natural hill in Leicestershire, England
Croft Hill rises 128 meters above the Soar flood plain, featuring broad-leaved woodland, scrubland, and diverse grassland environments across its 2-hectare expanse.
In 836, King Wiglaf of Mercia held an assembly at Croft where he granted land to the Hanbury monastery in the presence of bishops and nobles.
The hill functions as an outdoor education site where students learn about local geology, wildlife observation, and environmental conservation through organized programs.
Visitors can access Croft Hill from Croft Hill Road between Huncote and Croft villages, though the location does not provide designated parking facilities.
The hill's granitic soil, while nutrient-poor, supports the growth of nationally scarce upright chickweed among its short, tussocky grass vegetation.
