Belton, Leicestershire

Belton, Leicestershire, is a small village in the North West Leicestershire area of England. It lies very close to the town of Shepshed and further afield lies the main town of Charnwood borough, Loughborough. The village has a primary school, but children travel by bus to Shepshed High School once they pass into secondary school.

The village is home to a pub, a restaurant, a village shop, a hairdresser, a doctor's surgery, a woodyard and a riding school.

Belton itself is home to one of the few remaining free-standing maypoles in the country. This is a fact of which the local residents are very proud.

Belton is home to its local team 'Belton Villa' who play at the local recreational ground every Saturday. The team plays in red shirts, shorts and socks.
