Carry on Kelmarsh

You may not find much time to get out and about what with all the antics on site, but the folk here do have a few ideas up their sleeves if you fancy popping out for a bit. Closest is Kelmarsh Tunnels, a mile away – it’s part of the Brampton Way bike path, which runs along an old railway line and is a top spot for a cycle or stroll. Other locations for a walk nearby include the reservoirs at Welford, Thorpe Malsor and Sulby, or the historic Foxton Locks, which has Britain’s longest set of staircase locks and dates back over 200 years. All these are less than 15 minutes’ drive away. To take in a bit more of the area’s history, stop by at Naseby Battlefield (five minutes’ drive) or board a steam train for a ride on the Northampton & Lamport Railway (15 minutes). If you’d rather stick to the open-air pursuits, there’s golf five minutes away in Market Harborough and horse riding 15 minutes away in Church Brampton.
