Weedon Bec is a large village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set alongside the historic A5 (Watling Street) and the Grand Union Canal. It sits roughly between Daventry and Northampton, its canalside towpaths and narrowboat moorings giving the place a distinctly waterside character despite the surrounding agricultural landscape.
Historically the village grew as a coaching and military centre, with a nineteenth‑century ordnance depot and associated buildings leaving a strong imprint on the local built environment; the parish church and several period houses add to that heritage. Today Weedon Bec is a mix of commuter and agricultural community life, with local pubs, a village hall and active community groups, while canal tourism and walking keep a steady flow of visitors enjoying the rural setting and history.
