It is close to the border with Warwickshire, 6 miles (10 km) east of Rugby and 14 miles (23 km) northwest of Northampton.

The terminal is a short distance east of junction 18 of the M1 motorway, which is next to Crick. Crick's population in the 2001 census was 1,460, increasing to 1,886 at the 2011 census.
