Map of the UK

Stathern is a compact village and civil parish in the borough of Melton, Leicestershire, sitting on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir a few miles north of Melton Mowbray. It occupies rolling agricultural countryside that offers good views across the vale and makes it popular with walkers and people seeking a rural base within the East Midlands.

The village retains a historic core of stone and brick cottages and a parish church, and its local economy remains rooted in farming even as many residents commute to nearby towns. Community life is quiet but active, centred on village hall events and seasonal gatherings, while proximity to Melton Mowbray links it to the county’s strong food and market-town traditions.
