Car Hire Reviews Northampton

  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”
    Diane T

Where to go

Northamptonshire boasts a range of attraction within easy reach of the city centre. In particular, the country has a long association with the English nobility, so there are many stately homes and estates to explore. The city's central market square is also one of the oldest in the UK, dating back to the 13th century.

Nearby Northampton

Northamptonshire boasts a range of award-winning country parks, offering everything from high rope adventure courses to tranquil gardens. The county is also home to the Silverstone Circuit, located just 18 miles from the city centre, where racing events take place throughout the year.

Longer drives

If you want to explore more of the UK, Northampton is a great base. London is around 70 miles to the south, while famous university cities Oxford and Cambridge are both just over an hour's drive away. For those looking to enjoy the English countryside, the beautiful Cotswold Hills lie around an hour to the west of the city.

Eating and drinking

There's always fresh, locally-produced food to be found at one of Northampton's markets for those who want to eat in, but for those who want to eat out, there's something for every taste.

Things to do

Northamptonshire is home to Silverstone Circuit, which hosted the first ever official Formula One Grand Prix in 1950. But there's far more to the location than just watching races, as you can also participate in one of its many driving experience offerings to find out what it's really like to be Lewis Hamilton.

Sightseeing

Built by William the Conqueror, Rockingham Castle has witnessed over 900 years of history, and Reenactments of a Civil War siege are held regularly. Elsewhere, you can also pay a visit to Althorp House, ancestral home of the Spencer family, where there is an exhibition dedicated to one of the family's most famous members, Diana, Princess of Wales.
