Rolleston is a small rural village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, in the East Midlands of England. It sits among rolling farmland and quiet country lanes, a short drive from Market Harborough and within easy reach of Leicester, so it combines a peaceful rural feel with accessibility to larger towns.
The settlement retains traditional cottages and a parish church as local focal points, and the local economy is largely agricultural with a number of residents commuting out for work. Public footpaths and lanes make it popular with walkers and riders, while village life is small-scale and community-minded, with occasional local events and a strong sense of local history.
