The small village and civil parish of Harrington lies in North Northamptonshire in eastern England, set amid rolling farmland, hedgerows and country lanes. Its quiet rural setting and array of traditional stone and brick cottages make it a pleasant base for walks and countryside appreciation, while being within easy reach of larger centres such as Kettering and Market Harborough.
Harrington has long, largely agricultural roots, and its history is visible in a handful of older buildings and the parish church; there was never major industrial development here, so the character remains distinctly village-like. Today the local economy mixes farming with residents who commute to nearby towns, and community life revolves around the parish council, village events and a general emphasis on conservation and local traditions.
