Abington Vale

Abington Vale is a residential suburb situated on the northeastern edge of Northampton town. The area is characterised by its post-war housing developments, primarily consisting of semi-detached and detached homes. It is bordered by the Wellingborough Road to the west and the open fields of the Northamptonshire countryside to the east, providing a transition from urban to rural landscapes. Local amenities include several schools and convenient access to major road routes.

The area is directly adjacent to the expansive Abington Park, one of Northampton's largest and oldest public parks. This green space features a museum, a church, and ornamental gardens, offering extensive recreational grounds. Residential streets are generally quiet, with a mix of private and social housing. Its location allows for straightforward commuting into Northampton's town centre while maintaining a more subdued, neighbourhood atmosphere.
