Hollowell is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set in a quiet rural agricultural landscape. The village is best known for Hollowell Reservoir, a 19th‑century water body that forms a popular local amenity: it draws sailors, anglers and birdwatchers and gives the area a distinctive lakeside character uncommon in otherwise rolling farmland.
Hollowell retains a compact, historic feel with a parish church and a scattering of older houses and farmsteads, while an active local community organises village events and supports basic amenities. Economically it is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Northampton; the reservoir and countryside also help sustain leisure and nature‑based activity in the locality.
