Naseby is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, sitting on a windswept ridge with wide views over the surrounding agricultural landscape. Its position on higher ground makes it a popular spot for walkers and provides a strong sense of rural character: a compact village core of traditional cottages, a parish church and village green is surrounded by working farmland and hedged lanes.
Historically the area is best known for the decisive 1645 engagement on the nearby Naseby Battlefield, which draws visitors to the interpretation centre and occasional re-enactments; this history helps support a modest local tourism economy alongside farming and small businesses. Socially the parish retains a close-knit feel with community events and conservation activity, while remaining within easy reach of larger towns such as Northampton and Market Harborough, so some residents commute for work.
