Bardon is a former village and administrative parish in the north-west of Leicestershire, one and a half miles south-east of Coalville. The village of Bardon was largely demolished in the 1990s to allow for the neighbouring quarry to be expanded. Bardon Park was an extra-parochial area along the main road from Leicester to Ashby de la Zouch.<\/p>\n
