Northamptonshire has remarkable examples of Saxon churches such as at Earls Barton, glorious country houses such as Castle Ashby and fascinating historical connections not least at the ancestral home of George Washington at Sulgrave Manor. Natural delights such as Pitsford Reservoir, battlefield sites, the legacy of canals and railways, the excitement of Silverstone motor racing circuit on a World War 2 airfield combine all feature in this journey through one of the most fascinating areas of the country. |
