Beaumont Leys

[1][2] Locally, Beaumont Leys is usually used in reference to the large housing estate, built within the administrative division, centred on Strasbourg Drive.

[citation needed] Beaumont Leys is bordered by the wards of Abbey to the east, Fosse to the south-east and New Parks to the south.

[4] The area before the 1970s was mainly farmland and a sewage system, however started to be invested in by the council and local private housing companies.

The Leicester Lions speedway team compete in the Elite League and their home track is at Beaumont Park.

[19] The A46 trunk road bypasses Beaumont Leys through Castle Hill Country Park and is accessible by the Anstey Junction.
