Location:

Welcome to Earls Barton, a picturesque and historic village which offers a unique blend of heritage, community spirit, and rural charm. Located approximately 6 miles from Northampton town centre, Earls Barton is one of the most vibrant villages in the county with a great range of local independent outlets and facilities including hairdressers, butchers, cafes, convenience stores, newsagents, chemist, doctors’ surgery, library, and a variety of restaurants. Further afield, Milton Keynes, Northampton and Wellingborough provide a broader selection of shops and leisure amenities.

Earls Barton is well known for its footwear industry with its products being sought after worldwide. The boot and shoe industry has left an indelible mark on the streets, adding character and a sense of history. However, the most famous landmark of the village has to be the Saxon tower on the Church of All Saints which is believed to be a former Norman 'mote and Bailey' castle, on the site of an Iron Age hill fort. This ancient monument is located high above the Nene valley looking down into the village and attracts visitors from all over the world.

Earls Barton is also fortunate to be near the natural retreat of Sywell Country Park. The park boasts a picturesque reservoir, scenic paths, lush woodlands, and diverse wildlife. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks, cycling, fishing, and a children's play area. With ample picnic spots and a serene atmosphere, Sywell Country Park offers a peaceful countryside escape for individuals and families seeking relaxation.

In terms of education Earls Barton has a nursery and primary school and there are also several independent schooling options in the area, such as Wellingborough, Oundle, Uppingham, Spratton, Rugby, and Oakham.

Earls Barton is located within easy reach of the A45, A14, and M1 for commuters. Trains also run frequently from Wellingborough to London St. Pancras, and from Northampton to Coventry, Birmingham, Milton Keynes, and London Euston.

For anyone looking to settle in a vibrant but traditional village with convenient amenities, proximity to larger towns and cities, and surrounding countryside, Earls Barton could well be the place.
