King's Norton is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Harborough, Leicestershire, England. Set in the rolling farmland of the East Midlands, it sits within easy reach of Market Harborough and the county boundary, and is characterised by quiet lanes, hedgerows and dispersed farmsteads rather than a concentrated urban centre.
Historically agricultural with roots running back to the medieval period, the settlement retains traditional cottages, working farms and a parish community that relies on nearby towns for many services. The parish’s quiet footpaths and country lanes make it popular with walkers, and local interest tends to centre on rural conservation, village life and the few historic buildings that hint at its long-standing local identity.
