Asfordby Hill is a small village and former industrial landscape just outside Melton in rural Leicestershire, England. Sitting on a low ridge, it offers unexpectedly wide views across the surrounding farmland and is a convenient base for country walks and bridleways that link into the Vale around Melton Mowbray.
The character of the place has been shaped by past ironstone extraction and quarrying, leaving distinctive earthworks and areas of reclaimed land that now host a mix of light industry, nature recovery and residential pockets. Locally it feels like a tight-knit community with a strong rural identity, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work, and the village’s industrial heritage still figures in its landscape and local memory.
