Yardley Gobion

Yardley Gobion

Yardley Gobion is a village in the south of the English county of Northamptonshire.

Now well bypassed, it was until recently on the main A508 road south from the county town of Northampton to its connection with Watling Street and London. The Grand Union Canal runs nearby. In 1979 it featured on the "Blue Peter" television series when presenter Simon Groom visited a breeder of St Bernards in the village.

The noted Victorian botanist George Claridge Druce, later Mayor of Oxford, went to school in the village.
