Upper Broughton sits in the Rushcliffe district of Nottinghamshire in England, close to the county boundary with Leicestershire. The village occupies rolling farmland on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir, and retains a compact historic core with traditional stone and brick cottages and a parish church, several listed buildings and a designated conservation area that hint at its medieval origins.
Today the settlement combines agricultural activity with a largely commuter population who travel to nearby market towns such as Melton Mowbray and Bingham or to Nottingham for work; locally there is an active community life centred on the village hall, church and voluntary groups, giving it the feel of a well-knit rural community with a strong sense of place.
