Saxondale is a small hamlet situated just off the A52 road near to its junction with the A46 road at the Saxondale roundabout. There is evidence of an Anglo-Saxon fort with earthworks visible from the main road.

The village is just south of the Nottingham to Grantham Line across which is a level crossing and the airfield of the former RAF Newton. A spur, known as the Barnstone branch, from the former Saxondale Junction on the railway went through present-day Bingham to Melton Mowbray. The hamlet is close to the residential area of Upper Saxondale, a redevelopment of the former Saxondale Hospital site.
