West Langton is a small rural parish in the district of Harborough, Leicestershire, England, lying a few miles north‑west of Market Harborough. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, narrow lanes and a scatter of cottages and farms, and it forms part of the little cluster of Langton villages, including Church Langton and East Langton.
Historically rooted in agriculture with a small population and several older, often listed buildings, the parish retains a strong sense of rural heritage. The local economy is still largely farming based, supplemented by residents who commute to nearby towns, and socially the place feels quiet and close‑knit, with people relying on neighbouring villages and Market Harborough for amenities, events and services.
