Garthorpe is a small rural village and civil parish in the Borough of Melton, Leicestershire, England, sitting in the East Midlands countryside a short drive from the market town of Melton Mowbray. It feels typically Leicestershire: quiet lanes, rolling farmland and hedgerows, with a small population and a low‑density pattern of cottages and farmsteads.
The parish has a long agricultural history, visible in its landscape and a handful of older buildings including a traditional parish church and listed houses; farming still shapes the local economy while many residents commute to nearby towns. Community life tends to centre on village events and the village hall, and the tranquil setting makes it popular with walkers and people seeking a rural lifestyle within reach of regional amenities.
