Alderton is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, set in the rolling clay and limestone countryside of Northamptonshire. Its compact historic core, with a parish church and several listed cottages and farm buildings, hints at medieval and Georgian origins, and the surrounding lanes, hedgerows and footpaths make it popular with walkers and riders enjoying the rural landscape.
Agriculture still shapes much of the local economy, though many residents commute to nearby market towns and larger centres for work. Community life is focused on a village hall, occasional fêtes and local clubs, giving Alderton a quiet, close‑knit feel while remaining attractive to visitors seeking country tranquillity.
