Welford is a compact rural village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set in rolling Northamptonshire countryside close to the Leicestershire border. Its compact historic core of stone and brick houses, a parish church dating back to the medieval period and attractive lanes give it a quietly picturesque feel, popular with walkers and anyone looking for a taste of rural England.
Traditionally agricultural, the village now combines farming with a population that largely commutes to nearby centres such as Market Harborough, Leicester and Northampton. Local life centres on a village hall, the pub and seasonal events, and the area’s good road and rail connections make Welford an easy base for exploring the surrounding market towns and countryside.
