Brooksby is a small hamlet and historic estate in the borough of Melton, Leicestershire, England. It lies amid gently rolling farmland on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir and the market town of Melton Mowbray, an area long associated with mixed arable and livestock farming; remnants of a partially deserted medieval village and parkland earthworks give the place a distinctly rural, layered landscape.
At the heart of the settlement is Brooksby Hall, a notable manor set in parkland that combines heritage interest with contemporary rural use - the estate hosts a campus for land-based education, occasional public events and private functions, and supports local agricultural and equestrian activity. The mix of history, countryside walking and practical farming education makes Brooksby a quiet but culturally rooted corner of the Melton district.
