Yarwell is a small riverside village in North Northamptonshire, England, sitting on the banks of the River Nene close to the Cambridgeshire border and within easy reach of Peterborough. The village occupies a quiet stretch of the Nene valley with attractive stone and thatch cottages, waterside meadows and popular riverside walks along the Nene Way, making it a favourite for walkers, anglers and birdwatchers.

Historically an agricultural community, Yarwell retains a strong village feel with a small population and active local participation; the surrounding landscape has been shaped by river management and former quarry workings that now provide wildlife-rich habitats. Nearby heritage and leisure attractions such as the preserved Nene Valley Railway and local conservation sites add to the area’s appeal, while everyday services tend to be sought in Peterborough or neighbouring market towns.
