Museum of the Northamptonshire Regiment and history of leather design in a 500-year-old manor house.
One of the best parks to spend time as family! We visited a park yesterday, which is a 40-minute drive from us but we didn'tt regret. It's a huge park with two playgrounds for kids, large areas for walking and picnicking, and a small lake. There were two ice cream trucks and a bounce castle, which made my little boy very happy. Across the road, there's a small museum and a small bird area. Additionally, there's a nice cafe offering a selection of cakes and food too. This part of the park also features a small stage with live music, a basketball court, a rose garden, a lovely church, and another large park area. My boy enjoyed feeding the squirrels in the park. Parking is a bit tricky but we found a space on road next to park which is for free. The only downside was the toilets. The restrooms near the kids' playground were closed, and the only available facility in the other part of the park was small, old, and dirty. Despite this, I still give the park five stars because it's beautiful and offers so many activities.
I really love this museum. Many happy memories from when I was younger too. This time we took some friends visiting from Canada. They really enjoyed learning about Northampton.
Northampton is very lucky to have 3 historic/museums to visit. Probably the best thing about this one is it is free. I've visited many times over the years and I'm sorry to say each time there seems to be less to see. It's a very interesting building in it's own right and more could be made of the story of the house. The main content is dedicated to the County's military regiment which if inclined is of interest. However, with funding being hard for all councils it relies on volunteers to do much of the work.
Fantastic little free museum in a lovely setting. Only real came to see the history of the Northamptonshire Yeomanry as my Grandad served with them during the war. Parking is on the street but no restrictions. Free to enter. The part on the Yeomanry was expansive and detailed. They also had a part of the house and the park which was interesting too. No shop or cafe but toilets
A very interesting place for those who want to learn about military history, but not only that, my children were very interested in everything they saw, free entry, whoever wants can donate at the exit.
Lovely park and museum (open Sat-Sun) with free entry. Historic building, and the area's history explained with interesting displays and artefacts. Don't miss the lakes, ponds and water tower further into the park. Refresh in the cafe - a little pricey but quality food and drink.
