Famous for producing shoes (James Bond and Darth Vadar both got their footwear from Northampton) and hosting the Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone, Northamptonshire has oddly remained off the tourist map. But sometimes it’s the quiet ones you have to watch…
Nestled in the heart of England, just an hour by train from London, visitors will find gently rolling countryside, rambling country parks and vast ancient woodlands, all waiting to be explored. There’s a whole bunch of stately homes and ancestral seats to check out, too, including that of the Spencer family at Althorp.
