Long Buckby is a village in West Northamptonshire, England, positioned on the edge of the Northamptonshire countryside between Northampton and Daventry. It lies alongside the Grand Union Canal and is served by Long Buckby railway station on the Northampton loop of the West Coast Main Line, which has made it a convenient commuter base while keeping a distinctly village atmosphere.
The settlement shows a long history - the medieval St Lawrence Church and older cottages sit alongside 19th-century canal and railway buildings - and the canal basin is now largely leisure-focused. Local life centres on small shops, pubs, village groups and sports clubs, reflecting a community that has grown from transport-led industry into a largely residential and locally focused place.
