Broughton and Old Dalby is a small, mainly rural parish in the borough of Melton, Leicestershire, made up of two adjacent villages a few miles west of Melton Mowbray. The landscape is typical Leicestershire countryside of rolling farmland, hedgerows and quiet lanes, and the community feels much like a collection of historic villages rather than a single urban centre.
Locally the area has a strong agricultural character alongside a steady commuter presence, while community life centres on village halls, pubs and parish activities. One distinctive feature is the nearby Old Dalby Test Track, a long-term railway testing site, and both villages contain historic churches and listed buildings that speak to a long local history and a keen interest in conservation and rural traditions.
