Great Easton is a small village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside. The compact village centre retains a mix of older cottages and occasional Georgian buildings around a village green and church, and the surrounding lanes make it popular for walkers enjoying traditional hedgerow and farmland scenery.
Locally the community is active around the pub, village hall and church, with seasonal fetes and clubs bringing people together; the local economy remains rooted in farming with a handful of small businesses and many residents commuting to larger centres such as Market Harborough or Leicester. Its quiet, historic character and rural setting are the features visitors and locals most often praise.
