In the northern part of the county of Northamptonshire is the village and civil parish of East Carlton. Set in a stunning location with the settlement overlooking the picturesque Welland Valley, staying in East Carlton is fantastic for if you, your friends and your family wish to soak up the beautiful backdrops of this part of England and explore the great outdoors.
One of the main draws to the village is the East Carlton Country Park which is also home to East Carlton Hall, a Grade II listed building. Although the interior of the hall is not open to the public, visitors can get good views of this magnificent building dating from 1863, from the park. The park is a vast area home to paths that are great for taking country walks through the ancient woodland and sweeping grassland. There is a range of wildlife who calls this park home, which you and your loved ones should definitely look out for if on a stroll. The East Carlton Country Park is also home to a Heritage Centre which is housed within an old coach house and stables and features an interesting history of the local area, and a café which serves tasty light lunches and hot and cold beverages.
There is a great range of self-catering accommodation available to rent in East Carlton, where you can enjoy all of the home comforts that you know and love but in a new setting. There are also options of exploring further afield from the village, as the town of Corby is only two miles away and is a more bustling area to visit when having a holiday in Northamptonshire.
