Duston is a sizeable residential parish on the western fringe of Northampton in West Northamptonshire, England. It still has a recognisable village core with an old parish church and traditional cottages, but 20th‑ and 21st‑century housing developments and business estates have expanded it into a suburban community that sits near the River Nene and open greenbelt countryside, offering riverside walks and easy access to local parks.
Historically it grew from a rural settlement into a community shaped by Northampton’s wider industrial past, and today the economy is a mix of small shops, schools, light industry and office parks with many residents commuting to nearby employment centres. Local life is anchored by schools, sports clubs and village events, and good road links - including the nearby M1 and A45 - make it convenient for travel across the Midlands.
