Willoughby used to have a railway station on the former Great Central Railway, the station was originally called just "Willoughby" but was later changed to "Braunston and Willoughby" in an attemp to attract traffic from the larger nearby village of Braunston, the station was closed in 1958 and the line in 1966, almost nothing remains of the old station but the railway embankment and abutments of the old bridge over the A45 can still be seen. Just west of Willoughby is the Oxford Canal.
