Arnesby is a small village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, set among gently rolling farmland a short drive from Leicester and Market Harborough. It has the feel of a conservation village, with red‑brick and stone cottages, narrow lanes and a compact centre that give it a notably rural, community‑focused character.
The village is best known for its restored tower mill, Arnesby Windmill, and the medieval parish church of St Peter and St Paul, both of which anchor local history and occasional open days. The local economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns, and village life revolves around a village hall, traditional events and an engaged local community that keeps several long‑standing traditions alive.
