  • “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.”

Where to go

Wellingborough may be a long way from the sea (the closest coastal spot is over in Norfolk), but it's conveniently located for some beautiful Great British countryside, as well as some of the country's best-loved cities, including Cambridge, Leicester and Birmingham.

Nearby Wellingborough

The county town of Northampton is just a half-hour drive from Wellingborough, where the Northampton and Lamport Steam Railway and a museum celebrating the history of leather are particular highlights. Rutland Water, one of the largest manmade lakes in Europe, can be reached by car in 55 minutes for beautifully scenic walks.

Longer drives

Cambridge is around an hour's drive from Wellingborough, with its historic university buildings, punting opportunities on the River Cam and fascinating artefacts on display at the famous Fitzwilliam Museum. Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, can be reached in an hour and 20 minutes, where you can visit the very house the Macbeth playwright once resided in.

Eating and drinking

Whether you're in the mood for British, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Mexican or Thai food, you'll be able to find it in Wellingborough. If you want to sample some traditional local fare, look for eateries serving the classic Northamptonshire recipe of ock 'n' dough, which features ham hock covered with onion, potato, stock and savoury pastry.

Things to do

The Santa Pod Raceway, the home of European drag racing, is just a short drive from Wellingborough and provides a thrilling day out, whether you're taking part or simply watching. The Wellingborough Museum, housed in a 19th century brewery, is worth a visit if you'd like to learn more about the history of the local area.

Sightseeing

Wellingborough's All Hallows Church is more than 600 years old and is well worth a look around if you're interested in historical buildings. Arguably the best sightseeing to be done in this part of the UK is in Cambridge, which would be the ideal first stop for your hire car adventures.
