Northamptonshire sits in the East Midlands of England, positioned at the centre of the country and bordered by Leicestershire and Rutland to the north, Cambridgeshire to the east, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire to the south, and Warwickshire to the west.
The county covers an area of 2,364 kmĀ² and had an estimated population of 813,682 in 2024. Its central location means it sits roughly equidistant between London and Birmingham, making it one of the more practical counties for those working in either city.

More recently it has become associated with motorsport: Silverstone Circuit, home of the British Grand Prix, sits within its borders, and the wider area is sometimes referred to as Motorsport Valley.
