Sightseeing

Great day out, for even the not so aviation/history minded. Look out for the event days, which is rather spectacular.

Mainly only open during spring and summer, this is a fantastic garden. Don't miss the guided tour or the cake or take your own picnic. https://www.kathybrownsgarden.com/

A great outing with mill and cafe, but our favourite bit is the garden, where growing crops, fruit and vegetables get an ornamental make over. Designed by Chelsea winners Ian Kitson and Julie Toll https://jordansmill.com/plan-your-visit/whats-on#mill-gardens

Shopping

Rushden has become popular for its huge retail centre. Most of it is now complete offering walks and restaurants overlooking the lake. https://www.rushdenlakes.com/ Stores are mainly big national brands, but Magazine Heaven is independent and worth a visit, if you're a magazine fan. In normal times, their cafe is a great place to stop for some sustenance. https://www.rushdenlakes.com/stores/magazine-heaven/?location=m-26_1_
