The village and civil parish of Dunton Bassett sits in the district of Harborough in rural Leicestershire, England. It lies a few miles south‑west of Leicester and close to the market town of Lutterworth, tucked into the rolling, farmed countryside that characterises this part of the county.
Despite its modest size it retains a compact historic core with a parish church, village pub and active community groups; traditional agriculture remains important but many residents commute to nearby urban centres, and the growth of large distribution parks such as Magna Park in the wider area has also influenced local employment in recent decades. The parish feels typically rural yet well connected, combining village social life with easy access to regional services.
