Harringworth is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, tucked into the valley of the River Welland close to the borders with Rutland and Leicestershire. It sits in largely agricultural, limestone countryside and is popular with walkers and wildlife watchers for its peaceful lanes and open views.
Its most striking feature is the Victorian railway structure known locally as the Welland Viaduct or Harringworth Viaduct, which dominates the valley and is a favoured subject for photographers. The village has medieval roots and a small, tight-knit community; the local economy is largely agricultural with some commuting to nearby towns, and a handful of historic buildings and rural amenities that reflect its long-standing village character.
