Potterspury sits in rural West Northamptonshire in England, close to the old Roman line of the A5 (Watling Street) and within easy reach of Towcester, Milton Keynes and the motor-racing circuit at Silverstone. Its setting by shallow stream valleys and near remnants of ancient woodland such as Whittlewood Forest gives the parish a distinctly rural, wooded character.
Historically agricultural, the area retains a village core of a parish church, stone cottages, a village hall and traditional pubs, and the place-name hints at medieval pottery activity. The local economy is a mix of farming, small businesses and commuters, while community events and countryside walking around the woodlands remain important cultural and social features.
