Catesby is a very small, sparsely populated parish in West Northamptonshire, set in the rolling arable countryside typical of central England. There is no real village centre - rather a scattering of farmsteads, hedged fields and the remains of earlier settlement, including visible earthworks from a deserted medieval village that hint at a deeper rural history.
It is perhaps best known for the disused Catesby Tunnel on the former Great Central Railway, which draws the occasional interest from railway enthusiasts, and for its association with traditional estate farming rather than industry. The local economy is dominated by agriculture, the social life is quiet and community-sized, and the area appeals to walkers and anyone looking for a slice of historic Northamptonshire countryside.
