passes around 3 km north of the village. Looking east,
Honey Hill and the
Northamptonshire Uplands can be seen. Yelvertoft lies on a limestone rock belt which stretches from the south coast to
Yorkshire. The village is located in an area of relatively flat land and low hills called the Vale of Rugby. Roughly 4 km to the east of the village, the eastern edge of the Vale can be found at the beginning of the northern
Northamptonshire Uplands and
Hemplow Hills, roughly beginning at
Honey Hill to the west of
Elkington, and stretching south past
Cracks Hill to the
Watford Gap. To the west of the village, the vale continues until the edge of the Dunsmore Heath, roughly 6 km away,at the edge of the town of
Rugby, beyond
Lilbourne. Flowing through the northern edge of the village, the Yelvertoft Brook, a tributary of the
Avon can be found. Due to the low-lying nature of the village, and the sometimes heavy flow of water through the brook, the village has experienced flooding on several occasions, most recently in February 2024. ==Demography==
