Queniborough is a compact village and civil parish in the borough of Charnwood, Leicestershire, England, lying a few miles north‑east of Leicester. It sits amid gently rolling Leicestershire countryside with a recognisable village core of stone and brick cottages, green spaces and a conservation area that hints at its long rural origins.
Locally the community mixes historic character with a largely commuter population: there are small shops, pubs, a primary school and an active village hall hosting clubs and seasonal fetes, while the surrounding farmland still reflects the parish’s agricultural past. Historic buildings and a medieval parish church provide cultural interest, and neighbourhood groups and sports clubs give the place a strong, village‑centred social life.
