Clipston is a small, historic village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, sitting close to the Leicestershire border a few miles north of Market Harborough. Perched above the River Welland and the surrounding Welland valley, it has a distinctly rural feel with narrow lanes, stone and brick cottages and long views across the countryside.
The village retains a strong community character: a parish church, village hall and a local pub form focal points for events and clubs, while agriculture remains an important part of the local economy alongside a number of small businesses and commuters who travel to nearby towns. Historic buildings and a conservation-area atmosphere give Clipston the sense of a place that has kept much of its traditional charm while adapting to modern village life.
