Green Spaces
Town Parks
Northamptonshire towns are blessed with green spaces. Even in the busiest of town centres, you only have to turn a corner to come across a calm oasis of garden or an open space, fringed with trees.
Our town parks are also often hives of activity, with a dazzling array of events going on them throughout the year, as local people make the most of the greenery within walking distance.
Country Parks
When it comes to country parks, we are spoilt for choice in this part of the country. From the historic, like Rockingham Forest, to the unique, such as Salcey Forest with its amazing treetop walks, there are acres and acres of woodland, open fields and waterways to explore.
People don't just come for the stunning views - there's a wealth of activity going on in our country parks, with something for everyone, from biking to birdwatching, from walking to watersports.
Recycling
Maybe it’s because our local environment is so beautiful that we’re so keen on being environmentally friendly.
