Billing and Rectory Farm sits on the northern edge of Northampton within the unitary area of West Northamptonshire, England. The area blends older village cores such as Great Billing and Little Billing with the more modern suburb of Rectory Farm, and is notable for the waterside leisure complex at Billing Aquadrome and the nearby green corridors along the River Nene.
Historically the Billings grew from medieval village roots, but today the neighbourhood is largely residential with local shops, schools and community groups; many residents commute into Northampton. The caravan and leisure park adds a visible leisure and tourism element to the local economy, while community life is centred on sports pitches, parish facilities and accessible open space.
