This site is peaceful despite being beside a road. The ease of access to the canal provides plenty of opportunities for walking and there is also the Northamptonshire Round to explore. The local blacksmith, Bob Nightingale, has a workshop on the canal side that is a really interesting place to visit, where it is possible to purchase a variety of items. We bought two beautiful coat hooks and the candlesticks are also very reasonably priced, ideal for gifts. Bob is also a really interesting person to talk to. There is a canal museum, cafe and shop plus a stained glass workshop also within easy walking distance. Unfortunately the cafe was closed when we visited. Right next door to the site is the pub which is bright and cheerful, it also serves breakfast every morning. We would definitely visit again.
