We love Northamptonshire Country Parks






Fermyn Woods is in the heart of Rockingham Forest in Northamptonshire. We seem to be loving the Shires and certainly working our way around them. We love the Northamptonshire website, each country park has a downloadable map and clear signs. It's worth the 45 minute drive to get there. Fermyn Woods has a lot in a small space, and is quite understated on the website. There is a cafe, a huge adventure play area and some gorgeous trails that are clearly marked. £2.50 for car parking again but today I think it's worth it. It's similar to Aspley Woods in that it feels like it's just you and the trees, but with clear signage. We will be back.

I work for the web team at Northamptonshire County Council. I'm really glad you found our country parks pages and maps useful. Thank you for the kind words! If there's anything else you would suggest we include on our country parks pages, let us know at webteam@northamptonshire.gov.uk

Thanks again :-)

Hello David,

Thank you for your email regarding my blog. We live in Cambridgeshire and feel that going that little further to the Northamptonshire parks is definitly worth it. The website is fantastic, the maps wonderful, and the parks are kept so well. We have had a busy summer so haven't been exploring but back to blogging next weekend and visiting parks within an hour of Cambridgeshire. I will indeed feedback any thoughts and comments on the website.
