Pytchley is a small rural village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, set in the rolling farmland and mixed woodland that characterises the old Rockingham Forest area. It sits a few miles north of Kettering and functions largely as an agricultural community with many residents commuting to nearby towns; the landscape of hedgerows, lanes and pockets of ironstone buildings gives it a distinctly traditional Northamptonshire feel.
The village has medieval roots and retains a compact centre built around its parish church, and it is well known locally for its long association with the Pytchley Hunt, a prominent rural tradition in the area. Community life revolves around a village hall, church events and occasional local fetes, while small farms and cottage businesses continue to shape the economy and social fabric.
