Visiting friends in the area, we decided to take a drive around the villages we once knew well from a time when we lived and worked in Northamptonshire. Our first stop was at East Carleton Country Park. Although it was not a school holiday, the popularity of the venue was obvious from the many cars parked, made more acute because the wet conditions meant the the grass areas were not available for parking. No matter, we squeezed into a parking slot and started off by a visit to the tea room. The ambience of the tea room was a bit lacking in charm, and the food looked a bit lonely, sat on hot plates. There were cakes and a few biscuits, but overall they are currently missing a trick in the attractiveness of the tea rooms. It did look as if some of it had been recently upgraded, and other parts were seemingly still midst repair, but even so, I felt more of an effort could easily be made. The park itself is extensive. Quite a few goodish paths means that the worst of the mud, on a wet day, can be avoided. The tracks are slightly undulating, without being testing, There are ducks (and gulls) to feed, on a pond, and a play area for children. There are some interesting bits of old machinery from the steelworks heyday, including a giant bucket from a drag crane, used for collecting iron ore.Sadly the demands of health and safety prevent youngsters climbing around these, which at one time would have been quite acceptable. But nice walks, lots of spring flowers, and time well spent and enjoyed. Well worth a visit, with glorious views of adjacent countryside.

We held a function here on Saturday afternoon, we all had a fantastic time, the team were exceptionally helpful with the lead up making sure we had everything we needed, to helping set up and pack away. Access to separate music, plenty of space and provided extra tables for us along with lots more help! It is a great pub for functions, a casual drink, to catch all of the live sports and to keep dancing all night with great entertainment in Fridays and Saturdays. We all love it here!

Visiting this morning with my 3 year old - a short cycle followed by the play area to ourselves and lunch in the cafe. Staff in the cafe are always so kind and friendly and never mind my mucky pup's trail of crumbs. We love it here and there's no where else we'd rather spend a chilli autumn morning.

There are no toilets, cafes, or any particular facilities past a smallish car park and trails. If you want more go to Fineshades which is very close, much bigger and ready to meet more extensive needs. So Wakerley Woods. I would say it's pretty good for walking etc as it's pretty quiet. I have seen innumerable squirrels, a very occasional and even a woodpecker tapping away. I though use Wakerley as a easy spot for some MTB cycling. There are a few tricky zones, particularly when it's wet, but it's good fun. Nothing too demanding but definitely gets your blood pumping. Best spot I have found locally.
