About

Appleby ward covers a rural expanse in North West Leicestershire, characterised by farmland and the small villages of Appleby Magna and Appleby Parva. The landscape is defined by agricultural fields and the meandering course of the River Mease, which flows through the area. Settlement is concentrated in these historic villages, with their traditional stone and brick buildings forming the core of the community.

The ward's environment includes several protected areas due to the River Mease's status as a European special area of conservation. Local life centres on village institutions like the parish church and the village hall. The area is notably associated with the annual Appleby Horse Fair, a major gathering for the Gypsy and Traveller community that has historical roots in the parish, bringing a distinct but temporary change to the quiet, agricultural rhythm.
