Ullesthorpe is a small village and civil parish in the district of Harborough, in rural Leicestershire, England, lying close to the county boundary and within easy reach of the market towns of Lutterworth and Rugby. Its name reflects a Norse/Old English past - “thorpe” signalling a secondary settlement - and the village retains a mix of stone and brick buildings including a former country house now used as a hotel and business venue, Ullesthorpe Court.
Set in an agricultural landscape, the parish has evolved into a quiet commuter and farming community with a modest cluster of local amenities centred on the village hall, pub and school; a strong sense of local identity is maintained through clubs, events and the visible traces of past transport links such as a former railway station that once served the area.
