About

Blisworth, Roade and Yardley Gobion occupy a stretch of West Northamptonshire shaped by transport routes and farmland. Blisworth sits alongside the Grand Union Canal; the canal passes through the village via Blisworth Tunnel, which runs beneath the settlement and remains one of the longer canal tunnels on the network, its line marked on the surface by shafts and stonework. This part of the county lies between Northampton and Milton Keynes and has a mix of ribbon development, old field systems and pockets of woodland.

Roade developed where road and rail meet; the West Coast Main Line passes close to the village and the pattern of streets reflects 19th‑century railway growth alongside older lanes. Yardley Gobion lies a short distance to the east and is centred on agricultural land, parish facilities and a small cluster of houses and farmsteads. Local life here is organised around village institutions, footpaths and hedged fields that link the three communities to nearby market towns and the wider road and canal network.
