Wymeswold is a compact, mainly rural village in the borough of Charnwood in Leicestershire, England, set among rolling farmland just north of the larger market town of Loughborough. It sits on higher ground with pleasant views across the Leicestershire countryside and combines traditional limestone cottages and a village green with more modern housing on the edges, making it popular with commuters while retaining a distinctly village feel.
The village has a long local history and the imprint of the 20th century in the nearby former RAF airfield, whose flat expanses are now used for occasional motoring and community events alongside agricultural uses. Local life revolves around a village hall, village pubs, a parish church and small local businesses, and the community hosts seasonal events that reflect its rural and historic character.
