The villages of Crick and West Haddon were by-passed by the A428 main road from Rugby to Northampton when the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) was built in 1996.

Crack's Hill (grid reference SP595736) is about one mile (1.5 km) northeast of the village, next to the canal, and gives good views of Crick, Yelvertoft, West Haddon and Rugby from the top.

Kilsby and Crick railway station was located 1+1⁄2 mi (2.5 km) west of the village between 1881 and 1960.

It includes a nave, two aisles, north sacristy, south porch and west tower.

The bay window on the left-hand side has a datestone reading 1925, when extensions and internal remodelling took place.

Crick canal tunnel is close to the south-east of the village and is 1,528 yards (1,397 metres) long.
