Merry Lees is a small hamlet in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth in Leicestershire, England. It occupies a quiet, semi‑rural spot on the edge of the local market‑town area and is made up of a handful of homes, some light industrial units and surrounding farmland.
Today the settlement feels distinctly residential and commuter‑oriented, but it hints at the county’s blend of agricultural and industrial heritage; nearby lanes and footpaths make it popular for countryside walks and it retains a low‑key community character rather than any strong commercial centre.
