Just south of Northampton, Blisworth is a pleasant village on the Grand Union Canal. It has long been associated with rail travel and a station was built here for the London to Birmingham line, as well as a majestic arched bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson. The station has since gone but the West Coast Mainline passes close to the village.

As well as the canal's towpath, nearby Salcey Forest will also interest walkers. There are a range of facilities and three waymarked walking trails that explore the woodland.
