Gaddesby is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Melton, in rural Leicestershire, England. Perched on a modest ridge, it looks out over rolling Leicestershire countryside and contains a number of historic buildings and a medieval parish church, which together give the settlement a strong sense of age and a conservation-area character.
Traditionally agricultural, the village now combines farming with residents who commute to nearby towns such as Melton Mowbray and Leicester, while community life still centres on the church and village hall and occasional local events. Its mixture of old stone and brick cottages, lanes and surrounding farmland keeps a distinctly rural feel despite being well connected to the wider region.
