Kilsby is a compact village in West Northamptonshire, England, sitting close to the county boundary with Warwickshire and within easy reach of the towns of Rugby and Daventry. Set in gently rolling agricultural countryside, it combines a traditional village core with a number of housing developments and is popular with commuters because of nearby road and rail links.
Its most striking claim to fame is the 19th‑century engineering work nearby: the long Kilsby Tunnel on the West Coast Main Line, built for the original London and Birmingham Railway and still a visible part of the local industrial heritage. The village retains a lively community feel with local groups, a village hall and pub, and a mixture of historic buildings and modern homes reflecting its rural roots and commuter economy.
