Hartwell is a small, rural village in the rolling countryside of West Northamptonshire, England. It sits amid farmland and pockets of ancient woodland, with traditional stone and ironstone cottages, narrow lanes and a quiet village green giving it a distinctly rural character; its setting also places it within easy reach of the famous Silverstone racing circuit, which adds an unusual modern neighbour to the historic landscape.
Historically the village grew as an agricultural community and still retains several listed buildings and a parish church at its heart, while locally focused social life centres on the village hall and pub. In recent years Hartwell has become attractive to commuters and motorsport-related visitors, with residents often travelling to nearby towns such as Northampton or Milton Keynes for work and services.
