East Leake is a large village and civil parish in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, sitting within easy commuting distance of Nottingham and the Leicestershire town of Loughborough. Set among low-lying farmland with small streams (the name 'Leake' reflects a wet or marshy place), the parish blends a compact historic centre of older stone and brick buildings with post‑war and more recent housing developments.
With medieval roots and a long agricultural and milling history, the village was once served by the Great Central Railway before its mid‑20th century closure. Today it supports a mix of local shops, small businesses, schools, sports clubs and green spaces, giving it a lively community feel while many residents commute to nearby towns and cities for work.
