Places to stay in Gaddesby
Gaddesby is a small village off the A607 between Melton Mowbray and Leicester. It has a population of around 470 with a pub, a church and a primary school. The biggest local employer is Coles’ Nurseries and various farms and agricultural businesses. The village had many springs, and there are still two water pumps in Chapel Lane. On the corner of Chapel Lane and Cross Street a large boulder called “the blue stone” marks a spot from which John Wesley is reputed to have preached. The Methodist chapel was demolished in 1966. Many listed and older properties, including former hunting lodges, still exist. An old windmill remains just outside Gaddesby.
