It's easy to get out into the countryside from Kingsthorpe, which is less than 3 miles north of Northampton town centre, so you'll have the best of both worlds. There are a series of lakes along the River Nene to the south of Northampton and the Upton Country Park is one of several lovely green spaces that all the family can enjoy. One of the nearest is the peaceful Pitsford Water Nature Reserve, which is a haven for wildlife and birdwatching. It's also a much-loved place to go for walking, cycling, fishing, and sailing, just 6 miles away from Scholars Green on the A508. It's sure to become a favourite destination at the weekend.
