A fantastic day out enjoying the Hawk and Owl encounter. A beautiful place in a fantastic location and an unforgettable experience with friendly knowledgeable staff Jo and Emily getting to meet lots of beautiful birds of prey and getting to fly 5 different kinds of them. The centre also does lots of well needed conservation work with wild birds of prey too. Would highly recommend and am definitely planning a return visit.

been to Northampton rooms today and done molten creek mine with a group of friend, and yes we manage to escape just in 57.35 and came out rather dusty especially one friend who had dust all down her back but what mines aren’t so added to the atmosphere to make it all the more fun, so make sure to wear old clothes, Dan our host was brilliant very friendly from the moment we arrived to leaving, done a great intro and also gave a few helpful hints when most needed, and took photos with all our phones at the end for us, so thank you Dan for being a great host

We decided to visit 78 Derngate during our visit to the area and was not disappointed. The only house in England designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh has a fascinating history which is brought to life on guided tours by knowledgeable and passionate guides. Following the tour we enjoyed coffee and cake in the tea room (afternoon tea is also available - with or without a tour). Delightful visit - highly recommended!

Having been underwhelmed by several local National Trust properties, we visited this privately owned estate. Wow! totally blown away, so much to see and do - the chilli collection alone is worth coming for, who knew there were so many varieties of chilli peppers! And the little zoo - where you really can get up close and personal to the animals, who, by the way, all look really well cared for. The gardens are just beautiful - varying from the manicured to the wild. And, unlike some properties, there are no signs up telling you not to do this and that, you are free to wander and discover the beauty of this place. It's the kind of place you could come back to repeatedly and still find something different. We absolutely loved it.
