Bottesford is a large village and civil parish in the Borough of Melton in Leicestershire, England. Nestled on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir and close to Belvoir Castle, it has medieval origins and a compact stone-built centre focused on the church of St Mary the Virgin, which contains notable memorials to the Manners family, associated with the Dukes of Rutland.
The village sits beside the River Devon and is served by Bottesford railway station on the Nottingham–Grantham line, making it convenient for commuters to Nottingham, Grantham and Lincoln. The local economy mixes agriculture across the surrounding vale with small businesses and services, while an active community life - pubs, a primary school, sports clubs and occasional markets and events - reflects its rural character and history.
