About

Asfordby ward lies on the western edge of Melton Mowbray, primarily consisting of the village of Asfordby itself. The area is characterised by residential streets and local amenities, set within the wider rural landscape of Leicestershire. The ward includes the separate, smaller settlement of Asfordby Hill. Its layout reflects a mix of older village cores and more modern housing developments, creating a settled community atmosphere.

The physical geography is defined by the River Wreake, which curves through the southern part of the ward. A notable local feature is the former Asfordby Superpit deep coal mine site, which has now been largely reclaimed and landscaped. This history contrasts with the current agricultural surroundings. The area is connected to Melton Mowbray by the main Asfordby Road, serving as a key transport link for residents.
