Allexton is a small village located in the county of Leicestershire, England. Situated approximately 7 miles south-east of the town of Oakham, Allexton is nestled in a rural setting surrounded by picturesque countryside.

The village itself is characterized by its traditional stone houses and charming cottages, which add to its quaint and idyllic ambiance. Allexton has a relatively small population, with just over 100 residents, contributing to its tight-knit community feel.

One of the notable features of Allexton is its proximity to the historic Allexton and New Parks Manor. This Grade II listed manor house dates back to the 17th century and is known for its beautiful architecture and well-preserved gardens. The manor now functions as a private residence but continues to contribute to the village's cultural heritage.

Although Allexton is a small village, it benefits from its close proximity to larger towns and cities. The nearby town of Oakham provides access to various amenities, including shops, schools, and healthcare facilities. Additionally, Allexton benefits from excellent transport links, with major road networks such as the A47 and A6003 within easy reach, making it accessible to neighboring towns and cities.

With its charming rural setting, close-knit community, and historical landmarks, Allexton offers a peaceful and scenic retreat for its residents, while still benefiting from the conveniences of nearby amenities.
