Blakesley is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set in the rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes typical of the county. The settlement has a compact core of stone and brick cottages and a village green, giving it a distinctly rural character despite being within reach of larger towns and road links.
Historically an agricultural community with medieval roots, the village retains a parish church and several older listed buildings and once had a small local railway halt in the early twentieth century. Today the local economy mixes farming with commuting households, and community life revolves around the village hall, seasonal fetes and efforts to conserve the surrounding landscape and historic fabric.
