Whittlebury is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, tucked into the rolling Northamptonshire countryside just a few miles from Silverstone Circuit and the market town of Towcester. It sits close to the remnants of Whittlewood Forest, giving the area a notably wooded, rural character despite good road links to larger centres.
Historically the village grew up around the medieval hunting forest and later estate activity, and today its economy is shaped by hospitality, leisure and motorsport tourism linked to the nearby racing circuit; there are hotels, a golf course and equestrian facilities nearby. Socially it remains a small, close-knit community with many traditional cottages and listed buildings that reflect its long history in the county.
