Headlands is an electoral ward within the market town of Daventry in West Northamptonshire, England. It largely comprises suburban and residential streets, with a mix of post‑war and more recent housing, edged by the surrounding Northamptonshire countryside; the town’s position on higher ground gives parts of the ward pleasant open views over agricultural land.
Locally the area feels community‑led, served by neighbourhood shops, schools and sports clubs, while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Northampton or Birmingham or work in the region’s logistics and light‑industrial jobs. Historically the ward shares in Daventry’s market‑town heritage, so there’s a blend of modern suburban life with occasional local events and civic activity rooted in the town’s long history.
