The village of Cosgrove sits in West Northamptonshire on the banks of the River Great Ouse and alongside the Grand Union Canal, a popular stretch for boaters and riverside walkers. It lies between Milton Keynes and Northampton, with good road links that make it convenient for commuters while keeping a distinctly rural, small‑village atmosphere.
Cosgrove has medieval origins and a long‑standing parish church, and its canal lock, hump‑back bridge and nearby marina give the village a strong waterways identity. Local life centres on a village pub, community events and small businesses; agriculture and leisure tourism (boating, walking and wildlife watching) are important to the local economy, and there is active interest in conserving the village’s historic buildings and surrounding countryside.
