Carlton Curlieu in the District of Harborough, Leicestershire is a very small, largely rural parish set in the rolling farmland of the county. The settlement is dominated by a historic country estate, Carlton Curlieu Hall, and a medieval parish church, which together give the place a quietly historic character amid lanes, hedgerows and pasture.
Economically the area is largely agricultural with estate-related activity, while socially it functions as a compact community with limited amenities and many residents travelling to nearby towns. It lies within easy driving distance of the market towns of Market Harborough and Leicester, so village life is balanced by strong links to wider services and commuter patterns.
