Just a short walk away lies the village Post Office, selling fresh goods and the essentials, along with a tudor-style pub, Nevill Arms Inn, serving a traditional menu and selection of ales.

Medbourne is an old settlement in the Harborough District in the county of Leicestershire. Medbourne was a Roman hamlet on the route from Leicester to Colchester, but it is now a conservation area with antique stone cottages, huge beautiful buildings, and green pathways that combine to make the village one of the most picturesque in the Welland Valley. The community has a mediaeval stone bridge over a brook, a beautiful church, a typical pub, and a post office that sells the necessities.
