About

Somerby ward encompasses a rural expanse of northern Leicestershire, characterised by rolling farmland and small, historic villages. The area includes the primary settlements of Somerby, Burrough on the Hill and Ashby Folville, with a landscape dominated by agricultural fields and pasture. The ward's economy is largely connected to farming and equestrian activities, maintaining a quiet, residential atmosphere away from larger towns.

A notable network of ancient bridleways and footpaths, including parts of the Viking Way long-distance trail, crisscrosses the countryside. The topography features prominent hills like Burrough Hill, the site of a significant Iron Age hillfort with extensive earthworks. This historic landmark offers wide views across the surrounding Wolds and Vale of Belvoir, defining much of the area's visual character.
