Irchester Country Park

Winner of the Green Flag Award 2007

Located in the heart of the Nene Valley, this former ironstone quarry has a network of long and short trails through 83 hectares of mixed woodland. The park is home to a wealth of wildlife as well as the Iron Narrow Gauge Railway museum.

As part of the Living Isles series on the BBC last autumn Irchester Country Park was chosen as a local site for people to visit to see their local Natural History (see Related Links below).
