The village and civil parish of Bruntingthorpe sits in the rural part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. It is a small agricultural community of stone cottages and a parish church, with a village hall and occasional fetes and local gatherings; despite its quiet character it has straightforward road links to nearby market towns such as Market Harborough and Lutterworth, so many residents commute beyond the immediate area.
What really distinguishes the place is the long runway of Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome, a former RAF base now used as a proving ground, aircraft storage and motor-sport venue. That aviation and engineering presence gives the village an unusual economic mix for a rural parish, bringing occasional exhibitions, vehicle testing and specialist industry alongside traditional farming and community life.
