Northampton is a great place to live and visit, with many events over the summer, including music, food, sports and culture there is something for everyone. With the school summer holidays around the corner and the weather beginning to show the sun, there is no better place to spend quality time with the entire family than at one of our many beautiful parks.
A family favourite is Abington Park, famous for its paths lined with trees, decorative gardens, lakes, play area and birdlife. You can also head over to the Abington Manor museum which has free entry, and a great place to learn about the history of Northampton.
If you are looking for a large green open space, perfect for a picnic, sports playing or a spot of sunbathing, why not head over to the old racecourse.
If you want a lovely stroll with the family, try the riverside walk. This long walk provides you with beautiful scenery stretching from Carlsberg Brewery in the west to Barnes Meadow nature reserve in the east.
