Ab Kettleby is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Melton, Leicestershire, in central England. It sits amid rolling farmland to the north‑east of Melton Mowbray and close to the gentle hills and pastures that characterise this part of the East Midlands, giving the area a quiet, agricultural feel.
The settlement has a long history visible in its older stone cottages and parish church, and the local economy remains largely tied to farming with many residents commuting to nearby towns. Community life revolves around the village hall, occasional events and the local pub, so it retains the close‑knit social character typical of small Leicestershire villages while being within easy reach of regional amenities.
