Elmesthorpe is a small village and civil parish in the district of Blaby, in Leicestershire, England. Set in gently rolling agricultural countryside it sits within easy reach of both Leicester and the market town of Hinckley, which makes it popular with commuters while still retaining a distinctly rural character.
Historically the community grew around farming and local clay working, and that industrial past has left traces in old buildings and former pits now reclaimed by nature. Today it is a quiet, close‑knit place with a handful of historic farmhouses and a village feel, popular with walkers following local footpaths and people who value countryside living with decent access to nearby towns.
