The lowest point in the parish is about above sea level,〔http://ooc.openstreetmap.org/?zoom=15&lat=52.13155&lon=-1.02742&layers=00B0〕〔http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Ben/traces/9972〕 and the highest point is at at the divide between the Tove and the River Great Ouse.〔http://ooc.openstreetmap.org/?zoom=15&lat=52.0965&lon=-1.06085&layers=00B0〕〔http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Ben/traces/9112〕 The neighbouring parishes are Wappenham, Towcester, Silverstone, Slapton and Bradden, and the boundary is about around, enclosing of land.〔〔http://www.npemap.org.uk/tiles/map.html#465,247,1〕 The main village area itself makes up less than 1% of the parish, and all buildings included still adds up to less than 2%. The majority of fields are grass, covering around 54%, used mainly for sheep and cows, but horses are also kept. Wheat and to a lesser extent barley make up about 21% of the land usage, woodland covers another 20%. This is almost all Bucknell Wood which covers the elevated part of the parish, and is part of the Whittlewood Forest.〔http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/ben_robbins_/Abthorpe-1.png?t=1268327995〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abthorpe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
