One of the best walks in Northamptonshire is on the eastern side of the county by the Harringworth Viaduct, which runs across the landscape for three quarters of a mile. As a countryside lover, I was apprehensive at first but was left marvelling at the startling construction of each of the 82 arches and the ease at which the viaduct seems to fit in with its surroundings. A great photo opp here!

While in Northampton town centre, I visited 78 Derngate, the Mackintosh House, designed for businessman Joseph Bassett-Lowke by Scottish architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The interior didn’t disappoint with unique decoration and contrasting designs throughout – it gave me a lot of inspiration for my own home! The designs were revolutionary for the time they were created in 1916. A must see for art lovers and interior fanatics! The gift shop is a must on the way out where they sell jewellery and gifts from local artists and the café is also a perfect place to sit down, plan the next stop and enjoy a nice cup of tea.
