It lies on the B526 road (former A50) from Northampton to Newport Pagnell, between Horton and Wootton. The parish area is about 1,030 acres (420 ha). The civil parish population was 1,568 in the 2001 UK census, and 2,125 in the 2011 UK census. Hackleton absorbed the parishes of Horton, Piddington and Preston Deanery in 1935.
