- Hickling, Nottinghamshire
Hickling is a village near Melton Mowbray but is in Nottinghamshire. It is within the boundaries of Rushcliffe Borough Council, on the Grantham Canal and close to the Vale of Belvoir. The population numbers around 550 people.
Much of the village lies within a Conservation area, which also contains 24 listed buildings. St Luke's church dates from the 14th century.
A number of Roman coins and medals were found in an urn ploughed up nearby in 1771, and it is suspected that there may have been a Roman base nearby.
The village holds an annual Hickling Scarecrow Festival over a weekend each September.
