Map of the UK

Harlestone is a small, largely rural parish in West Northamptonshire, sitting a few miles to the west of Northampton. The area is given over to rolling arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of mature woodland, with a scattering of older stone cottages, farmsteads and estate parkland that give it a quietly historic feel.

Locally the economy remains rooted in farming while many residents commute to nearby towns, so community life is a mix of long‑standing village connections and newer commuter households. The parish is popular with walkers and people seeking a rural base close to urban facilities, and conservation of hedgerows, wildlife and historic buildings is an ongoing local concern.
