Agincourt (Azincourt), a village of northern France in the départment of Pas de Calais, 14 miles to the north-west of Saint-Pol by road, famous on account of the victory, on October 25 1415, of Henry V of England over the French in the Battle of Agincourt.

The original museum of the battle featuring model knights fabricated from Action Man has given way to a more professional space with slide shows, audio commentary's and some interactive elements. The museum building is itself modelled on the longbow of the English soldiers.
