Accommodation
There is plenty of space for campers but we are unable to supply electrical hook ups.
For those wishing to stay off site Kettering Borough Council has a list of accredited accommodation.
The Area
The market town of Kettering lies on the River Ise some 80 miles North of London and some 50 miles East of Birmingham. In the 19th. and early 20th. centuries the town was noted for its boot and shoe industry with such famous names as Dolcis; Freeman, Hardy and Willis; Frank Wright and Timpsons having factories there.
It is traditional to have tastings of local foods at the opening but it may be better to wait until the following breakfast to serve up Weetabix from their local factory.
Frank Bellamy (1917 - 1976) was one of Kettering's notable inhabitants whi, for a short period, was the illustrator of the Eagle's Dan Dare comic strip.
Wicksteed Park is a short walk away. It has 147 acres with a mixture of rides, attractions, fishing, synthetic ice rink, countryside and wildlife.
