Cold Ashby is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, sitting on exposed high ground close to the border with Leicestershire. Its name reflects the Norse-derived "Ashby" (ash-tree farm) with "Cold" hinting at the bleak, windy summit location; it is traditionally regarded as one of the highest villages in Northamptonshire, offering wide rural views across fields and hedgerows.
Life in the parish is predominantly agricultural, with a compact cluster of stone cottages, a church of medieval origin and an active village community that organises local events and looks after parish affairs. Many residents commute to nearby towns such as Market Harborough, Northampton and Daventry, while the surrounding lanes and footpaths are valued for walking, cycling and enjoying the historic rural landscape.
