Harlestone Manor is a small, mostly rural civil parish just outside Northampton in West Northamptonshire, England. It feels more like an historic estate and agricultural hinterland than an urban neighbourhood, with parkland, hedged lanes and pockets of woodland that reflect its origins as a manor landscape rather than a nucleated village.
The area combines quiet residential and farming uses with a legacy of historic buildings and earthworks associated with the old manor; there are also traces of traditional ridge-and-furrow fields and estate planting. Economically it tends to be linked to nearby Northampton - many residents commute - while locally there’s an emphasis on conservation, equestrian activity and smallholdings, giving the parish a tranquil, semi-rural community character.
