Kilby is a small village and civil parish in the Blaby district of Leicestershire, England, lying a few miles south of Leicester. It retains a noticeably rural character, with a compact historic core of older cottages and farmsteads set among agricultural land and lanes, and a quieter residential feel compared with the larger suburban settlements nearby.
The settlement has long local roots and a village community centred on traditional amenities and occasional local events; the local economy has roots in farming but many residents now commute into nearby towns and the city. Close by is the small hamlet of Kilby Bridge and local transport links that have shaped the village’s development from an agricultural past into a commuter-friendly rural outpost.
