The civil parish of Owston and Newbold lies in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England, and is a small, largely rural area of hedgerowed fields, quiet lanes and dispersed farmsteads. The parish contains the two principal settlements and sits within reasonable commuting distance of larger centres such as Market Harborough and the city of Leicester.
Historically the villages grew from agricultural roots and retain several period buildings and a parish church, while the local economy remains dominated by farming alongside a mix of commuters and small local enterprises. Community life tends to centre on a village hall, occasional fetes and the network of public footpaths that draw walkers and wildlife watchers to the characteristic Leicestershire countryside.
