About

Dunton ward encompasses the rural parish of Dunton Bassett, situated in the southern part of the Harborough district. The area is characterised by agricultural land and the historic village core, with the main settlement lying close to the A426 road. The surrounding landscape consists of open fields and smaller pockets of woodland, typical of Leicestershire's farming countryside.

The parish church of St. John the Baptist, with elements dating to the 14th century, stands at the village's heart. The local community is served by a village hall and a public house, reflecting its scale. A notable feature is the presence of the former Great Central Railway line, whose embankment and remnants form a distinct linear feature through the western part of the parish, now utilised as a public footpath.
