Things to do in Northamptonshire
There’s so much to enjoy in and around the county, but if you’re not familiar with the local area, here are just a few of the activities you can enjoy.
Visit Northampton
The county town of Northampton is home to almost half of Northamptonshire, with fantastic Georgian architecture, extensive shopping complexes, theatres and cinemas and much more to occupy you in your retirement.
Explore Country Parks
Northamptonshire’s award winning Country Parks each have their own unique character and something to offer for everyone. With friendly and helpful staff, picnic meadows, surfaced trails, sign posts and plenty of seating, the parks are designed with access for everyone in mind.
History & Heritage
Northamptonshire is also home to a variety of beautiful country estates and ancient medieval castles that are well worth a day out for all the history buffs out there. Rockingham Castle makes for a great day out; being one of the few homes to have been continuously occupied since the time of William the Conqueror!
