Great Dalby is a small village in the borough of Melton, Leicestershire, England. Set in gently undulating farmland near Melton Mowbray and with views towards the Vale of Belvoir, it retains a quietly rural character with a mix of stone and brick cottages and lanes that reflect its long village history.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still has strong farming and equestrian links while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Leicester. The community is typically village-centred, with a parish church, village hall and regular local events, and the surrounding countryside is popular for walking and wildlife watching, making it a good example of north Leicestershire village life.
