Visiting friends in the area, we decided to take a drive around the villages we once knew well from a time when we lived and worked in Northamptonshire. Our first stop was at East Carleton Country Park. Although it was not a school holiday, the popularity of the venue was obvious from the many cars parked, made more acute because the wet conditions meant the the grass areas were not available for parking. No matter, we squeezed into a parking slot and started off by a visit to the tea room. The ambience of the tea room was a bit lacking in charm, and the food looked a bit lonely, sat on hot plates. There were cakes and a few biscuits, but overall they are currently missing a trick in the attractiveness of the tea rooms. It did look as if some of it had been recently upgraded, and other parts were seemingly still midst repair, but even so, I felt more of an effort could easily be made. The park itself is extensive. Quite a few goodish paths means that the worst of the mud, on a wet day, can be avoided. The tracks are slightly undulating, without being testing, There are ducks (and gulls) to feed, on a pond, and a play area for children. There are some interesting bits of old machinery from the steelworks heyday, including a giant bucket from a drag crane, used for collecting iron ore.Sadly the demands of health and safety prevent youngsters climbing around these, which at one time would have been quite acceptable. But nice walks, lots of spring flowers, and time well spent and enjoyed. Well worth a visit, with glorious views of adjacent countryside.

The parking is easy. Lots of different routes to take around the woods. Which means that future visit will be certain. Good play ground.

Deene Park is a largely 16th century house which has been occupied by the Brudenell family since 1514. It was the seat of the Earls of Cardigan including the 7th Earl who led the Charge of the Light Brigade in 1854. The gardens include long borders, old fashioned roses, lakes and a parterre with topiary teapots.

Deene Park has opened the gardens this weekend, so that visitors could see the snowdrops. Having parked the car and crossed the river, we walked beside the lake where there was a superb display of snowdrops. Large displays in the woods transformed the ground into a sea of white. We also saw hellibores on the long beds in front of the house as well as daffodils. There are some beautiful walks through dappled shade by the lake. The tea room was busy and offered a range of scrumptious cakes, there were also plants for sale. The house and gardens reopen in the spring. Historic House members are free. One of the largest and best displays of snowdrops we have ever seen. Put the date in the diary for 2021.

Visiting this morning with my 3 year old - a short cycle followed by the play area to ourselves and lunch in the cafe. Staff in the cafe are always so kind and friendly and never mind my mucky pup's trail of crumbs. We love it here and there's no where else we'd rather spend a chilli autumn morning.

There are no toilets, cafes, or any particular facilities past a smallish car park and trails. If you want more go to Fineshades which is very close, much bigger and ready to meet more extensive needs. So Wakerley Woods. I would say it's pretty good for walking etc as it's pretty quiet. I have seen innumerable squirrels, a very occasional and even a woodpecker tapping away. I though use Wakerley as a easy spot for some MTB cycling. There are a few tricky zones, particularly when it's wet, but it's good fun. Nothing too demanding but definitely gets your blood pumping. Best spot I have found locally.
