UPPER BROUGHTON

Upper Broughton is an unspoilt thriving rural village which lies on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir protected by a Conservation Area listing and set in unspoilt undulating open

countryside between Nottingham and Melton Mowbray.

The village provides a useful range of traditional amenities and services centred around the old village green and stone cross with amenities including a highly regarded local public

house, cricket pitch and a tennis club – some of the essential ingredients of a traditional village lifestyle.

In strategic terms, the village of Upper Broughton is superbly placed for commuting to Leicester, Nottingham and throughout the East Midlands with first class road and rail connections

available via the recently improved A46 dual carriageway which links to the M1.
