The village has a population of around 500 people and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a popular destination for walkers and cyclists.

The village has a rich history, with evidence of Roman occupation in the area. The name "Willoughby" is believed to have originated from the Old English words "wilig" meaning willow and "by" meaning village or settlement. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was owned by the Willoughby family for many years. The village church, St. Mary's, dates back to the 13th century and is a Grade II listed building.

Today, Willoughby Waterleys is a peaceful and picturesque village, with a strong sense of community. The village has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub, The Fox Inn, which dates back to the 18th century. The pub is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, serving traditional pub food and a range of drinks. The village also hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a fireworks display on Bonfire Night.
