Claybrooke Magna is a small village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. Paired closely with neighbouring Claybrooke Parva, it sits in gently rolling Midlands countryside and takes its name from a local “clay brook”, reflecting the wet clay soils and small streams in the area. The village is within easy reach of the market towns of Lutterworth and Market Harborough.
There is a distinctly rural, historic feel to the settlement, with older cottages, a village church and community hall and the kind of village pub and clubs that keep local life active. Agriculture has shaped the landscape and economy for centuries, though many residents now commute to larger centres such as Leicester and Coventry. The community tends to be close‑knit, with local events, footpaths and conservation of vernacular buildings helping maintain the village’s character.
