Bitteswell with Bittesby is a small rural parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, in the East Midlands of England. The village sits amid rolling farmland a few miles south of Lutterworth and is home to a compact community made up of long‑standing farming families alongside commuters who travel to nearby towns and cities.
The parish is particularly notable for the deserted medieval village earthworks at Bittesby, where ridge-and-furrow fields and house platforms survive and attract local walkers and historians. In more recent times the locality developed an association with aviation when an airfield nearby supported aircraft activity, but today the area is chiefly agricultural with modest local amenities and a quiet, historic village character.
