Oadby Leicestershire Map

About Oadby

Oadby rises gently from the Leicestershire plain, a place where the quiet hum of modern life intertwines with the echoes of a longer past. It lies 5.6 km south-east of Leicester (from Leicester: bearing 137°T, OS grid SK 626 002), and is situated south-west of Stoughton village. The broad sweep of its avenues, often lined with mature trees, speaks of a thoughtful development, while the subtle curve of the land allows the sunlight to fall with a particular grace upon its neat brick residences and public buildings. Oadby's own history is not one of ancient fortifications or monastic grandeur, but rather a steady growth, reflecting the changing fortunes and aspirations of its inhabitants over the centuries. The presence of Beauchamp College and Oadby Grammar School, institutions that have shaped generations, contributes to a sense of enduring community and intellectual pursuit that permeates the air.
