There are lots of fantastic churches and parks in Northampton. Here's a list for you.

Delapre Abbey & park
The abbey was founded in 1145 for a community of nuns from the great abbey of Cluny in France. It was one of only three Cluniac monasteries built in England set up for women. The grounds include ornamental rock and water gardens, a walled garden with a sculpture trail and extensive lawns and woods. The abbey is surrounded by 500 acres of open parkland - which was also the location of the battle of Northampton in 1460.

Delapre Abbey also has Tea Rooms on site which are open from 10am until 5pm, Monday through Sunday.

Address: London Road, Northampton. NN4 8AW


Becket's Park and Marina

From the railway station it is a 15-20 minute walk to Franklin's Gardens (but you may wish to allow a little bit longer as there are two pubs and a working mens club en route).
