Althorp House, ancestral home of the Spencer family and final resting place for Diana, Princess of Wales (if you want to visit the House it is open from 1st July until 30th August 2009 and you will require a ticket that generally has to be ordered well in advance)

Just a short journey away In Northampton is the Royal and Derngate Theatre offering a wide range of entertainment (and pantomime at Christmas of course)

Brixworth Church, built in 680ad, stands on a hill overlooking the village and is said to be one of the oldest Saxon Churches in Europe.

A little further afield you will find Sulgrave Manor, the UK ancestral home of the Washington family.

Among the major events is the Northampton Balloon Festival, now in its 19th year and taking place in 2009 between 15-17 August at the racecourse, Northampton. Not to be missed!

About 21 miles away is the Silverstone Circuit, home of the British Grand Prix, taking place on 17-19 June 2009. There are many other racing events through the year.
