NESTLED NEXT TO the meandering River Wreake from which it takes its name, Frisby-on-the- Wreake’s lanes and alleyways are its rich history: several different architectural styles, from half-timbered, chocolate-box cottages to imposing Georgian houses all blend together to give the village its quaint charm.

Frisby offers everything you could want from a village community. Its pretty streets provide a range of amenities to cover everyday needs, with a small shop and post office, a primary school (Frisby C of E Primary School, OFSTED rated Good) and a wide range of clubs and societies ranging from the well-established cricket club to the Frisby Wine Appreciation Society. Nearby Frisby Lakes is a beautiful location for anglers. The rural roads and lanes around the village are ideal cycling country and a network of footpaths to explore connects Frisby to neighbouring villages.

Four miles from Frisby-on-the-Wreake is the market town of Melton Mowbray. Globally famed for its pork pies, Melton Mowbray has much to offer besides. As well as a huge range of eating places, Melton Mowbray has a wide range of shops – including many local independent stores, a vibrant market and a number of family-friendly activities, including Twinlakes Park, with exhilarating rides, animals and picnic areas.
