Twyford and Thorpe is a small rural civil parish in the Borough of Melton, in Leicestershire in the East Midlands of England. The two villages sit among rolling arable fields and hedgerows, with quiet country lanes and footpaths that make the area popular with walkers and cyclists.
Traditionally agricultural, the parish still shows many historic farmsteads, stone cottages and parish churches and retains a strong local community feel with occasional village events. Economically it remains closely tied to farming while many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Melton Mowbray or to Leicester, and its proximity to the food heritage of Melton Mowbray adds a distinctive local flavour.
