Harby is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Melton, in Leicestershire, England, set in the rolling farmland of the East Midlands. It lies close to the market town of Melton Mowbray and bears the hallmarks of a long rural history, with medieval origins visible in older cottages and the parish church, and a landscape dominated by working farms and hedgerowed lanes.
Today the local economy still leans on agriculture while many residents commute to nearby towns, and the village retains a quiet, community-oriented feel with a village hall, local events and popular walking routes through the surrounding countryside. Its compact size and traditional architecture make Harby typical of Leicestershire villages: peaceful, rooted in rural life but within easy reach of the wider amenities and food heritage of the Melton area.
