Burley sits in the rolling countryside of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is a small, predominantly agricultural parish of stone cottages, farms and quiet lanes, with a parish church and a number of older buildings that hint at medieval origins; historically the economy has revolved around farming, with an increasing number of residents commuting to nearby market towns such as Oakham and Uppingham.
Socially the community feels close-knit, with village fetes and church events marking the year, and the surrounding fields, hedgerows and lanes attract walkers and birdwatchers. The parish also benefits from being within easy reach of Rutland Water, so residents enjoy rural peace while having good access to popular recreational facilities.
