Forming the heartland of England, rural Northamptonshire is home to charming market towns, stately homes, glorious gardens and Silverstone, the Formula 1 motor racing circuit - all of which we lap up on this packaged tour. From our Northampton hotel, we make tracks for Stowe Gardens, the Elizabethan-era Holdenby House, Silverstone Interactive Museum and Delapré Abbey, and top them up with free time in Market Harborough and some delicious wine-tastings.
