Vehicle Transport in Northamptonshire
Northamptonshire sits in the middle of England, surrounded by better-known counties — but its M1/A14 crossroads position makes it one of the most accessible counties in the UK. The M1 runs straight through it (junctions 15-18), and the A14 gives east-west access. At about 170 miles from Devon, it's a comfortable run — and the county's mix of market towns and logistics hubs means varied vehicle transport needs.
M1 Direct Access
Junctions 15 through 18 serve the entire county. Northampton, Daventry, and the south from junction 16; Kettering and Corby from junctions 7-10 of the A14 off the M1.
