Oadby Brocks Hill is a mainly residential ward in the borough of Oadby and Wigston, in Leicestershire, England. It sits on the eastern fringe of Leicester and combines suburban housing, local shops and schools with reasonably good transport links into the city, making it popular with commuters and families.
The area is best known for Brocks Hill Country Park, a council‑run green space and local nature reserve with a visitor centre, wetlands, meadows and regular community and education programmes; it gives the ward a stronger sense of place and wildlife interest than many similar suburbs, reflecting its evolution from former farmland into a settled neighbourhood with an active local community.
