Tips from locals
25 miles from Granary Cottage but if you're a history buff, well worth the trip. It has been continuously occupied for over 1000 years. Beautiful gardens too and views over 5 counties. Not to be missed if you are interested in British history.
Built by William the Conqueror and was a royal residence for 450 years. Very interesting to look round with magnificent views. There are often events held there.

Gardens and castle a short 15 minute drive from the Chapel, just over the border in Northamptonshire. Many annual events and fairs. Horse trials and outdoor entertainment. Now home to Kavanaghs cafe, a highly regarded eaterie and must for those seeking gluten free. Victorian Christmas displays
