Blakesley Northamptonshire Map

About Blakesley

Blakesley, a quiet corner of Northamptonshire, exhales a scent of damp earth and ripening fields. It lies 7.0 km west-north-west of Towcester (from Towcester: bearing 284°T, OS grid SP 625 503), and is situated north-east of Woodend village. The broad, gently rolling landscape around Blakesley is a patchwork of arable land and pasture, often softened by the low, persistent English sky. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, delineate the fields, their tangled branches a haven for unseen birdsong. The village itself clusters around its church, a solid presence of local stone, its spire a familiar point on the horizon for those who travel its quiet lanes. A palpable sense of continuity pervades Blakesley, as if the centuries have merely added a thin veneer of change to an enduring core.
