At Harborough District Council, we are proud to promote the many qualities that make our district a beautiful part of rural England. Our area is characterised by the vibrant atmosphere of our market towns, the rich heritage of our built environment, and the stunning local landscape. This section sets out how we work to make our Places the best they can be for business, residents and visitors. We are fortunate to enjoy the best of both worlds, with the tranquillity and safety of rural living alongside easy access to larger centres for shopping and cultural events.
Harborough District spans 238 square miles across rural south and east Leicestershire, within the East Midlands Region. The District is frequently recognised as one of the best places to live in the UK. Our market towns, including Market Harborough, which was recently featured in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2024 guide, are testament to the district's appeal as a place to live, work, and enjoy life.
