Walcote is a village in Leicestershire, to the east of Misterton, with which it forms a joint civil parish, named 'Misterton with Walcote': of these, Walcote is by far the larger, but Misterton has the parish church.
Walcote is on the A4304 road some two miles east if the town of Lutterworth and a mile east of Junction 20 of the M1 motorway. The village has two public houses, the Black Horse (re-opened in September 2009) and the Tavern.
A short circular walk linking Walcote and Misterton can be made by following Brook Street and taking the footpath left which joins a track which passes the Misterton Hall and St. Leonards Church. On reaching the main road, turning left onto a cyclepath by the woods of Misterton Park brings you back to Walcote.
