Castle Ashby in West Northamptonshire, England is a small village and parish set in rolling Northamptonshire parkland a few miles north‑west of Northampton. The village is dominated by the great country house and estate that give it its name - an Elizabethan and later house surrounded by formal gardens, lakes and a deer park which shape the local geography and provide a striking historic backdrop.
Historically the settlement grew around the estate and the parish church contains notable monuments; the estate remains one of the area’s main employers and opens parts of its gardens to visitors, supporting modest tourism alongside farming. Village life is quiet and community‑centred, with the house, church and village hall marking a continuity between rural traditions and the commuter links to nearby towns such as Milton Keynes.
