About

Irthlingborough lies along the River Nene, its historical development closely tied to the waterway and the surrounding floodplain. The area includes the Nene Wetlands nature reserve, a significant habitat created from former gravel workings, which now forms part of a larger conservation project. The town's layout reflects its past, with older streets clustered near the river and later expansion onto higher ground.

The local economy has traditionally been connected to the boot and shoe industry and more recent logistics, with industrial estates situated on the periphery. A notable landmark is the Church of St. Peter, which stands on a prominent mound believed to be the site of an early medieval castle. The area is bordered by the A6 road, providing a main transport route through this part of the Nene Valley.
