Glenfields is a small civil parish in the district of Blaby, in Leicestershire, England, sitting on the rural fringe of the Leicester area. The landscape is a mix of arable fields, hedgerows and small copses, giving it a distinctly pastoral feel while being within easy commuting distance of the city and major road links.
Historically the area has agricultural roots, and you can still find older farmhouses and cottages that reflect that past. Today the parish combines a commuter population with working farms and a handful of local businesses, supported by an active parish council, community groups and occasional village events that keep a strong local identity despite proximity to larger urban centres.
