Thinking of moving to Blisworth?

Surrounded by open farmland, Blisworth is a pleasant village located between Towcester and Northampton. The village still retains much of its historical charm with many 16th century cottages built from a mixture of local Blisworth ironstone or Northamptonshire sandstone creating an interesting blend of light and dark stone properties.

During the 17th century, Blisworth emerged as a prominent stopover for coaches traveling between Cheltenham and Stratford. Remarkably, it has maintained its small community charm, avoiding evolution into a larger, more urban area. With the construction of the Grand Union Canal in the early 19th century, Blisworth experienced a resurgence as a logistical centre, facilitating the loading and unloading of boats from London. The engineering challenge posed by Blisworth Hill was ingeniously overcome by constructing a canal tunnel and a railway track. This tunnel, extending for 1.74 miles, stands as the UK’s second longest navigable tunnel. Despite these developments and its historical significance, Blisworth has successfully preserved its quaint, village atmosphere, avoiding transformation into a heavily industrialised area.

Blisworth village is conveniently situated for commuting with the M1 motorway and Milton Keynes railway station within easy reach. Northampton town centre is also just a short 10-minute drive away, where you can enjoy a good range of theatres, arts, and cinemas. If you’re looking for a change of scenery, the historic cities of Oxford and Cambridge are both within an hour’s drive.

Education in Blisworth is catered for with Blisworth Community Primary School. The school prides itself on a forward-thinking approach while embracing village traditions.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find Blisworth a delightful place, with opportunities for walking, running, and cycling in the surrounding countryside. The presence of the canal enhances the village’s appeal, providing a scenic backdrop.

For everyday needs, Blisworth caters to its residents with essential facilities such as a village shop with a news agency and post office, and a range of local pubs. The village hall is a central point for community activities and events. Additionally, there are many small businesses in the area, contributing to the local economy and providing services to the community.
