Wymeswold sits in the rolling landscape of the Wolds, almost exactly midway between Loughborough and Melton Mowbray. It is a substantial village defined by a mix of red-brick Georgian houses and older timber-framed cottages that follow the line of the River Mantle as it flows through the village centre. Historically, it was a site of significant agricultural wealth - a fact reflected in the unusually large and grand St Mary’s Church, which underwent a major restoration by Augustus Pugin in the 1840s. While it retains a traditional feel with its two remaining pubs and a village pharmacy, the landscape is shaped by the nearby former RAF Wymeswold; though the airfield closed to flying in the 1950s, the site now serves as a hub for local industry and various outdoor sports. Its location on the A6006 provides straightforward access to the East Midlands’ larger centres, yet the village remains physically distinct, surrounded by a network of well-used public footpaths and ridges that overlook the Soar Valley.
