Crick is a village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, a few miles north‑west of Daventry. It sits beside the Grand Union Canal and around Crick Marina, which hosts the well‑known Crick Boat Show and draws a steady stream of visiting boaters and walkers through the surrounding countryside.
The village mixes a rural feel - with a traditional parish church of St Margaret's, pubs, a village hall and active community groups - with the influence of modern transport and freight, being close to the M1, the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal and the Watford Gap corridor, so local life reflects both longstanding village culture and contemporary logistics‑led economic activity.
