Stoughton, Leicestershire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stoughton is a small village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire.

It is just east of Leicester, and sits in countryside between two protusions of the Leicester urban area (Thurnby to the north and Oadby to the south). The closest part of the city of Leicester is Evington. Other nearby places are Houghton on the Hill and Great Stretton.

Leicester Airport lies close to the village; Stoughton Farm Park, which was closed following the foot-and-mouth crisis and now houses a number of small businesses, was nearby.
