The civil parish of Raunds in North Northamptonshire, England sits on gently rolling countryside to the east of the county, close to towns such as Rushden and Wellingborough. The area benefits from nearby greenspace, notably the wetlands and recreation at Stanwick Lakes and the wider Nene Valley, making it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
Historically the settlement grew from medieval roots and later saw a strong manufacturing phase in footwear and light industry, shaping the townscape and local employment into the 20th century. Today it combines a mix of residential growth, community clubs and local shops with many residents commuting to larger centres, while conservation areas and a parish council preserve a sense of local identity.
