Northampton is like many towns throughout the UK, and one thing it definitely benefits from is a large number of fast food joints and restaurants, but there are also plenty of places to help you keep fit.
The Racecourse is directly opposite the Avenue university campus, and it’s basically an extremely large park that’s superb for a morning or an evening run. During the afternoon it can be a rather busy area, but you’ll certainly increase your stamina if you run around this park each and every day.
There are also a large number of gyms in and around town, and each gym will have its own benefits, for example Trinity has a swimming pool, while the Pure Gym in Northampton is the cheapest in terms of memberships.
While there are many unhealthy foods out there, there are also plenty of groceries and market stalls where you can pick up fresh fruit and veg, at very affordable prices. So the healthy options are out there too.
