Gayton in West Northamptonshire, England is a small rural village and civil parish set in gently rolling arable countryside. It sits within easy commuting distance of Northampton and has medieval roots visible in its older buildings and narrow lanes, with a mixture of traditional cottages and working farmsteads giving the place a quietly historic feel.
