About

Ullesthorpe ward encompasses a largely rural portion of western Leicestershire, defined by agricultural land and small, historic settlements. The area includes the village of Ullesthorpe itself, along with Leire, Frolesworth, and the hamlets of Bittesby and Bitteswell. The landscape is characterised by open farmland and the course of the River Swift, which flows northward through the parish.

A notable feature is the former RAF Bitteswell, a significant airfield and aircraft maintenance site during the mid-20th century, which has since been redeveloped for industrial use. The ward's economy balances this modern employment zone with traditional farming. The local road network, including the A426 and A5, connects these communities while defining the ward's boundaries within the wider district.
