Illston on the Hill is a small village and parish seven miles north of Market Harborough in the county of Leicestershire. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census (including Carlton Curlieu) was 179.[1] The old part of Illston is a rare "dead end" village: literally, at the end of the road which leads to it Illston also has a village hall available for rent. In the summer it hosts events including a Village Fete and 'Onion Sunday'.
