Northamptonshire

Classically English scenery surrounds the waterways of Northamptonshire.

Industrial towns give way to stone-built villages and farmers’ fields as the Grand Union Canal makes steady progress past Milton Keynes and into the county of 'squires and spires'. Here the River Nene comes into its own as a quintessentially rural waterway.
