Groby sits a few miles northwest of Leicester, positioned just inside the A46 western bypass which makes it a practical spot for getting around the East Midlands. It’s a village that has grown considerably over the last few decades, but it still maintains a distinct core built around the slate and granite cottages typical of this part of the county. Historically, it is perhaps most notable for its connection to the Grey family at Groby Old Hall and its proximity to the ruins of Bradgate Park, which is only a short walk or drive away. For everyday life, the village functions quite independently with its own primary and secondary schools, a range of shops around the central green, and the expansive Groby Pool - the largest natural body of open water in Leicestershire. It’s a place where you’re close enough to the city for work or a night out, but you’re right on the edge of the Charnwood Forest, so the landscape feels much more rugged and rural than the suburbia nearby.
