About

Melton Mowbray West sits to the west of the town centre and is largely a residential sector with a mix of terraces, semi-detached houses and later estate development. Local parades of shops, a primary school and community facilities serve day-to-day needs, while regular bus services link the area with the centre and routes out to surrounding villages. Road connections make the town centre and A roads accessible without long journeys, and many streets have short walks to the market and services that form the town’s core.

Pockets of green space and allotments are interspersed among the housing, offering places for informal play and gardening. You will find independent butchers and bakeries that continue the town’s long association with Melton pork pies, and agricultural suppliers that reflect the county’s farming links. The River Eye and a few tree-lined corridors are within easy reach of the western side, providing simple routes for short walks and local wildlife. Community groups run events and keep local facilities in regular use.
