Weedon Bec is a compact, largely rural parish in West Northamptonshire, England, sitting beside the historic A5 (Watling Street) and the Grand Union Canal. Its location gives a mix of transport heritage and countryside: towpath walks along the canal, easy road links to Daventry and Northampton, and a landscape of arable fields and hedgerows surrounding the settlement.
The village is marked by its military history - early 19th‑century barracks gave Weedon Bec a long connection with the army - and by a stock of Georgian and Victorian buildings around the church. Today it feels like a small but active community with local pubs, clubs and a village hall, a commuter population alongside traditional farming and leisure uses centred on the canal and local green spaces.
