Map of the UK

East Hunsbury lies to the south of Northampton in the unitary authority of West Northamptonshire. The area sits on distinctive former ironstone workings and is framed by Hunsbury Hill Country Park, where the earthworks of an Iron Age hillfort and the steep quarry faces give the suburb a surprisingly rural character, with woodlands, meadows and footpaths linking out towards the River Nene.

Mostly a residential commuter community, East Hunsbury mixes family housing with local shops, schools, sports clubs and active community groups; nearby business parks and good road and bus links into Northampton help provide local employment. The combination of green space, historic features and practical amenities makes it popular with families and walkers while still feeling close to the town.
