Billing is a civil parish in West Northamptonshire, lying just to the north‑east of Northampton and made up of the neighbouring settlements of Great Billing and Little Billing. It sits on the fringe between town and countryside, with residential areas interspersed with open green spaces and bodies of water that give parts of the parish a distinctly rural feel despite its proximity to the town.
The parish is best known for Billing Aquadrome, a large leisure and caravan park with lakes popular for boating, fishing and family recreation, and the historic Billing Hall, a former country house that now serves as an events and hospitality venue. The mix of village‑scale community life, ready access to outdoor amenities and convenient links into Northampton and the wider West Northamptonshire area makes Billing a pleasant spot for commuters and leisure visitors alike.
