Things to do in Corby and Northamptonshire

Enjoy some Corby accommodation and enjoy the delights of the surrounding area. The Best Western Rockingham Forest Hotel itself is situated next to Rockingham Castle with easy access to the A14, A1, M1 and M6.

East Midlands, Birmingham and Luton airports are all close by which makes the hotel just as pleasant to stop-over in as it is to spend a few days at.

For a family break, there's plenty to keep everyone entertained as the hotel is close to Wicksteed Park and Twin Lakes Theme Park, Gullivers Kingdom and local play areas.
 
Fishing and cycling can be enjoyed at Rutland Water, while scenic walks through the Northamptonshire countryside are not to be missed!

Nearby Barnsdale Gardens in Rutland is a great day out for garden lovers with its individually designed gardens, nursery and tea room. And if you want to be inspired by the grounds of a grand 16th century house and gardens, then visit the fine Burghley House estate near the beautiful market town of Stamford.

As well as nearby Corby town centre with its plenty of shopping opportunities and restaurants, here are some other places of interest within a short drive of Corby:
