Leire, Lutterworth, LE17 5ER

Leire is a village and civil parish situated in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. The population is modest, with around 500 residents recorded in recent estimates and 587 in the 2011 census. The village lies to the north of Lutterworth and features two public houses that serve as local gathering places. The name Leire is thought to derive from the old British name for the river Soar, and a tributary of the Soar has its source to the south of the village. The setting is typical of a rural English parish, with the community linked to the surrounding countryside and the nearby town of Lutterworth for additional services and amenities. The village’s character is shaped by its small population, historical ties to the river Soar, and its status as a civil parish within the Harborough district.
