Whittlebury is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, in the south of Northamptonshire, set beside pockets of ancient woodland known as Whittlewood Forest and surrounded by rolling parkland. Its location immediately adjacent to Silverstone and the Silverstone Circuit brings a steady stream of visitors at racing weekends, yet much of the parish retains the feel of a traditional hunting-forest landscape with lanes, estate farmland and woodland clearings.
The village has medieval roots and a compact community whose economy mixes agriculture with hospitality - including country-house hotels, a golf resort and services that cater to motorsport visitors. Conservation of the ancient woods and estate parks attracts walkers and wildlife enthusiasts, while local life remains centred on village amenities, estate events and the peaks in activity that come with the racing calendar.
