Gartree is a semi‑rural area in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England, sitting on the southern fringe of the market town of Market Harborough. The landscape is a mix of rolling farmland, small villages and commuter‑belt housing, and the locality benefits from good road and rail links into Leicester and Northampton via Market Harborough.
The name recalls the medieval administrative Gartree Hundred, and today the area is perhaps best known for the presence of HMP Gartree alongside long‑standing agricultural activity. Community life tends to centre on the nearby market town, village halls and local pubs, giving it a quiet, well‑connected feel that blends historic roots with modern commuting patterns.
