Clipston Parish Council
Welcome to Clipston Parish Council
Ciipston
is in the north of Northamptonshire, near enough to the Leicestershire border to
have that county as part of its postcode. The attractive landscape of gentle
hills and valleys, with its cultivated fields and pastures, copses and
hedgerows, always surprises outsiders since its pleasures remain relatively
unknown. It is close enough to Naseby to have been affected by the Civil War
battle. The head of the river Ise rises in the parish, eventually flowing into
the Nene.
There
are 239 homes in the parish, and about 600 residents. Market Harborough, which
is about five miles to the north-east, is the closest shopping centre and has
the majority of the services required for day to day living, including rail
links to London and the north, bus links to Leicester and Northampton, both
about eighteen miles away, and to places further afield. But despite being the
nearest town Market Harborough does not function as the administrative centre,
since it is not in the same county. This role is taken by Daventry District
Council.
