Burton Overy is a small village and civil parish in the district of Harborough, Leicestershire, England, set in typical Leicestershire countryside a few miles to the south‑east of Leicester. It retains a compact, historic core of stone and brick cottages and farm buildings, with surrounding rolling farmland, public footpaths and a generally quiet, rural feel that appeals to walkers and those seeking village life close to the city.
The settlement has medieval roots and a handful of listed buildings that hint at its past; today the local economy is still strongly influenced by agriculture alongside residents who commute for work. Social life revolves around a small village community with occasional events and a village hall, and conservation interests help preserve the character and landscape that make Burton Overy distinct.
