Wymeswold is a compact village and civil parish in the district of Charnwood, Leicestershire, England, set on a prominent ridge north of Loughborough. The high ground gives long views over the surrounding farmland and vale, and the village retains a pleasant rural character with stone cottages, a church with medieval origins and a mix of farmsteads and newer housing.
Locally notable is the nearby former airfield, RAF Wymeswold, which after military use has hosted gliding, motorsport and small commercial activity, while agriculture and commuter links to nearby towns help sustain the local economy. Wymeswold has an active community life centred on its village hall, sports clubs and annual events, giving it the feel of a traditional Leicestershire village with modern connections.
