Northamptonshire, resting in the soul of England's East Midlands, boasts a rich tapestry of history. The largest towns, including Northampton, Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough, each offer unique attractions – from Iron Age and Roman remains to the stately homes and grand churches of the centuries gone by. The county is also etched in England’s annals of war, featuring prominently in conflicts such as the Wars of the Roses and the English Civil War.

The land, crisscrossed by the rivers Avon, Welland, Cherwell, Great Ouse, and Nene, rolls gently among hills, offering lush, natural landscapes. Northamptonshire was once the heart of England's shoe-making industry. Today, it's a blend of history and modernity, with thriving industries nestled within timeless scenery. It is administratively split into North Northamptonshire Council and the West Northamptonshire Council, and is represented by seven Members of Parliament, all hailing from the Conservative Party.

The county is rich in historical attractions, including the Rockingham Castle and Fotheringhay Castle. Whether you're exploring the industrial heritage of Corby, Northampton’s historic architecture, or simply enjoying the serenity of the countryside, Northamptonshire provides a vibrant backdrop for an unforgettable visit.

When to visit Northamptonshire

Choosing when to visit Northamptonshire largely comes down to personal preferences. For those who adore the warmth of summer, July, August, and September are an excellent choice. The temperatures during these months are particularly pleasant, especially in the evenings, making it perfect for late strolls or dining al fresco.

Meanwhile, those who favour a quieter visit might consider September. This month offers a gentle climate and smaller crowds – an ideal combination for exploring the county at a leisurely pace. However, be aware that Northamptonshire, like much of England, can be rainy, so packing an umbrella is always a good idea!

For the festive at heart, Northamptonshire truly comes alive in November and December. These months are high season, with festivals and markets bringing a merry atmosphere. Unsurprisingly, holiday accommodations can book up early, so it's wise to plan in advance! Whenever you choose to travel, Northamptonshire's distinct charm shines in every season.
