Oundle is a compact market town in North Northamptonshire, England, set beside the floodplain of the River Nene. Its centre is notable for a mix of medieval street patterns and attractive Georgian and limestone buildings around a traditional market square, with riverside meadows and the wider Nene Valley giving a strong sense of place and wildlife interest.
The town is best known for Oundle School, a large historic boarding school whose presence helps shape the local economy and cultural life, alongside independent shops, antiques dealers and small engineering and service businesses. Community events, music and arts festivals, and outdoor activities on the river all add to a lively social scene, while good road and rail links to nearby Peterborough make it a popular spot for commuters as well as visitors.
