Wilbarston is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, sitting close to the border with Leicestershire and only a few miles from Market Harborough. It occupies gently rolling agricultural countryside and keeps a compact village core of cottages, lanes and surrounding fields, giving it a distinctly rural character while remaining within easy reach of larger towns.
Historically rooted in farming, Wilbarston now mixes agricultural activity with residents who commute to nearby centres such as Market Harborough and Kettering. The village maintains a strong community feel around its church, village hall and occasional local events, and its quiet lanes and views across the surrounding countryside make it popular with walkers and those seeking a peaceful rural base.
