Cosgrove is a small riverside village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set on the banks of the River Great Ouse beside the line of the Grand Union Canal. Its waterside setting, towpaths and locks make it popular with boaters and walkers, while good road links to the M1 and A5 and its proximity to Milton Keynes and Northampton mean many residents commute to nearby towns for work.
The village has medieval roots - its name likely coming from an Old English personal name plus “grove” - and retains a compact core of older stone cottages and a conservation-minded community. Local life revolves around small-scale agriculture, village amenities and occasional community events, and the mix of quiet rural character with easy access to larger centres attracts both long-term residents and weekend visitors.
