Long Buckby is a ward centred on the large village of the same name on the edge of West Northamptonshire in England, lying between Daventry and Northampton. It grew up alongside the Grand Union Canal and the A5/ Watling Street corridor and still has a railway station on the Northampton loop of the West Coast Main Line, which makes it a popular base for commuters as well as a local service centre.
Historically a market and coaching settlement with a long-established parish church and a canal wharf, Long Buckby now combines small shops, light industry and surrounding farmland; community life revolves around village clubs, the canal basin and local events, giving it a mix of rural character and commuter-driven social change.
