Leire is a small village and civil parish in the district of Harborough, in rural Leicestershire. It sits amid rolling farmland between the market towns of Market Harborough and Lutterworth, giving it a quiet, agricultural character while remaining within reasonable commuting distance of larger centres.
The community has traditional village features - a parish church, a village hall and a scattering of historic houses and farms - and retains a strong local spirit with occasional community events and activities. Economically the area is still dominated by agriculture, although many residents now travel to nearby towns for work, and the village’s roots stretch back into the medieval period, reflected in its landscape and built fabric.
