Olivia & Bradley
Things To Do
Northampton St Giles Street
On Northampton's St Giles Street you’ll find independent shops, cafés and nearby is an independent cinema called The Filmhouse. Northampton is a town shaped by centuries of shoemaking history, a craft that remains part of its identity today and now part of Olivia’s career.
Olney High Street
A charming historic market town known for its pretty streets, independent shops, and peaceful riverside walks along the Great Ouse. Emberton Country Park is also just a couple of minutes down the road.
Castle Ashby Gardens
A peaceful historic estate with elegant formal gardens, a graceful orangery, and a charming menagerie, perfect for a gentle countryside wander and a quiet moment of beauty.
Althorp
A 13,000-acre estate and Grade I listed stately home renowned as the Spencer family seat for over 500 years and the childhood home and resting place of Diana, Princess of Wales.
Salcey Forest
A beautiful stretch of ancient woodland with walking trails. We’ve always loved the forests in Northamptonshire and this is one of our favourites.
Santa Pod Raceway
A well known local drag racing circuit hosting race days, car shows, and events throughout the year. For something a little different from countryside walks, it’s a lively nearby spot that captures a different side of the area.
Sywell Country Park
A quiet reservoir and surrounding parkland with simple walking routes, children's parks and open views across the water. Nearby The Aviator Hotel at Sywell Aerodrome offers an Art Deco inspired place to stay with a bar, and just opposite Beckworth Emporium is a well known farm shop and café that’s ideal for breakfast or lunch before or after a walk.
Rushden Lakes
A modern shopping and leisure area set beside the water, with high street shops, restaurants, and walking paths around the lake. An easy nearby option for food, retail therapy or a relaxed walk.
Rushden Station, Goods Shed & Higham Ferrers High Street
A collection of nearby local spots to explore, from the restored heritage railway station pub and the converted Goods Shed event barn, to the small historic high street in Higham Ferrers with its cafés and independent/charity shops. Easy places for a short wander from Chester House Estate.
