About Bitteswell
Bitteswell is a quaint village located in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, just north of Lutterworth.

Notably mentioned in the Domesday Book as Betmeswelle, the name reflects its picturesque setting, meaning 'the spring/stream in the broad valley', making it a unique area for potential planning developments.
There are currently no active flood warnings for the Bitteswell area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
