Collyweston is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, set in a quietly agricultural landscape close to the River Welland and the historic town of Stamford. The settlement has a traditional village feel with stone cottages, a parish church and nearby woodland such as Collyweston Great Wood, making it attractive to walkers and people interested in rural life.
The village is best known for the famous local roofing material, Collyweston slate, a Jurassic limestone historically quarried and split by frost and used on many churches and country houses. There are also reminders of twentieth‑century history in the area around RAF Collyweston, while former quarries and woods now provide wildlife interest; overall the place combines a strong built and natural heritage with a modest, farming‑centred local economy.
