Glapthorn is a small village and parish set in the rolling, agricultural landscape of North Northamptonshire, a few miles from the market towns of Oundle and Thrapston. The area is best known locally for Glapthorn Wood, an ancient oak-dominated wood celebrated for its spring flora and birdlife, which gives the village a distinctly rural, wooded character.
Historically the village has a quiet, close-knit feel with a medieval church, traditional cottages and links to the surrounding farming economy; many residents now commute to nearby towns for work while village life centres on community events and the countryside amenity of the woodlands and footpaths.
