New Street, Oundle, Northamptonshire PE8 4EA

In the heart of the scenic Northamptonshire countryside, Oundle is a period drama-worthy slice of heaven. Its ancient medieval gables, golden stone Georgian townhouses and pretty cottages wind alongside cobbled streets, offering an escape that’s bursting with local character. Once you’ve had your fill of picturesque Oundle, head off to visit the fallow deer at the grand 16th-century Burghley House, stopping to enjoy a spot of lunch in the leafy grounds.

Alternatively, drive 10 minutes to the sprawling 13th-century Fotheringhay Castle to soak up the local history: former residence of the Dukes of York and place of birth of King Richard III, it was also the final place of imprisonment of Mary, Queen of Scots.
