Come for a rural cottage break to Aldwincle, by the River Nene in Norhamptonshire. The village of Aldwincle can be found in the English county of Northamptonshire and is set by the meandering River Nene, 12 miles south east of Corby. It is a small settlement with few amenities but lots to do if you love the great outdoors, as there are lakes and nature reserves nearby, and lots of opportunities to go cycling or walking through the rolling countryside. Anglers may like to note that Elinor Trout Fishery is just a walk away should you manage to snatch a few hours dangling a rod over a lake during your holiday.
Four miles away and just a 10 minute drive from Aldwincle is the settlement of Titchmarsh and is home to two pubs, a shop, and a nature reserve. This beautiful wetland site makes a great day trip from Aldwincle and is home to an abundance of different species of butterfly and bird, and it is also a heronry. You and your friends and family should definitely take a walk along the Nene Way footpath if you wish to see some of the wildlife closer, especially the butterflies and dragonflies.
Just a couple of miles from Aldwincle is the small town of Thrapston, with a high street full of shops, and plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants to try out. Interestingly, a relative of US President George Washington, Sir John Washington, used to live in this village. Taking a visit to Thrapston is a great way to explore another part of Northamptonshire when going on a break in Aldwincle.
Aldwincle is home to lots of self-catering accommodation available to rent so that you and your loved ones can relax and enjoy this charming par of Northamptonshire at your own pace. With great kitchens, spacious living rooms, cosy bedrooms and stylish dining areas, you and your family will settle right in and not want to leave!
