The little village of Ashby St Ledgers lies just inside the south-west boundary of Northamptonshire, just north of Daventry. It is an attractive village, with lovely thatched cottages and most buildings crafted in the local warm-toned ironstone.

Brixworth is a large village just off the A508 between Northampton and Market Harborough. The older areas of the village have a number of very attractive cottages built of local ironstone. By far the most interesting historic building in Brixworth is the parish church, dedicated to All Saints.

Naseby is an attractive village in lovely countryside about 7 miles from Market Harborough. You might think it is the sort of place where nothing ever happens, but you'd be wrong, for it was at Naseby on 14 June 1645, that one of the pivotal battles of the Civil War was fought. The Battle of Naseby was where a relatively unknown cavalry commander in the Parliamentary Army, a man named Oliver Cromwell, changed the course of history and routed the Royalist armies under Prince Rupert. A monument stands at the edge of the battlefield site. The parish church of All Saints is a 13th-century building, on the site of an earlier Saxon church. The stub of a medieval market cross stands on Church Street.

The small Northamptonshire village of Stoke Bruerne is famous for its association with the Grand Union Canal, which runs peacefully right through the village. On the south bank of the canal is the Canal Museum (also known as the National Waterways Museum Stoke Bruerne).
