Welcome to Holdenby

Holdenby is a small village located in the county of Northamptonshire, England. The village is situated on the outskirts of the town of Northampton and is known for its beautiful countryside and historic landmarks. One of the most notable landmarks in Holdenby is Holdenby House, a grand country house that was built in the 16th century. The house has a rich history and has been used as a royal palace, a prison, and a school over the years. Today, Holdenby House is open to the public and is a popular tourist attraction in the area.

In addition to Holdenby House, there are several other historic buildings and landmarks in the village. These include the Church of All Saints, which dates back to the 13th century, and the Holdenby Almshouses, which were built in the 17th century to provide housing for the poor. The village also has a number of traditional pubs and restaurants, where visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink while taking in the local atmosphere.

Holdenby is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and picturesque villages dotted throughout the area. There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, and horse riding, and the village is also close to several nature reserves and wildlife parks. Whether you're looking for a relaxing break in the countryside or an action-packed adventure, Holdenby has something to offer everyone.

Local Dog Walks

Harlestone Firs
There Are So Many Different Trails To Choose From. Some Are Pathed Others Are Off Path And Through The Woods. It Does Say To Keep Dogs On The Lead, But No One Actually Does. However, There Is A Likely Chance There Will Be Horses And Cyclists On The Route So You Probably Will Have To Put Dogs On The Lead In Those Situations. Heathgate Cottages Harlestone Rd Northampton Lancashire NN5 6UJ 2.77 miles It'S Literally Opposit Harlestone Heath Garden Centre, Which Postcode Is The Same As The Walk (Nn5 6Uj)

Old Train Line Walk Brixworth
I Highly Recommend This Walk! Spratton Rd Northampton Lancashire NN6 9DT 3.01 miles It Is Located Between Spratton And Brixworth. As There Aren’T Really And Other Locations On That Road, It Isn’T Hard To Miss And The Car Park Is Straight Off The Road. The Post Code I Believe Is, Nn6 9Dt

Kelmarsh Tunnels
Brought Oscar My Dog Here For The First Time Today. (17/8/20) Nice Walk Although The Tunnel Itself Was A Bit Mucky And Slippery Which Is To Be Expected Due To The Weather. Word Of Advice...If You’Re Visiting After A Prolonged Or Heavy Rainfall, Do Wear Suitable Footwear. Also Being A Good Strong Beamed Torch Too. We Enjoyed It And Will Be Back To Explore Further. Kelmarsh Tunnels Lancashire 7.97 miles From Corby To Braybrook Then Follow A6

Sywell Country Park
This Lovely Walk Is Around A Reservoir And Takes About An Hour And A Half To Complete. It Has The Water One Side Of The Path And On The Other Is Fields Which Are Fenced Off. There Are Gateways Throughout Separating The Walk Into Sections, Which Is Good For Dogs That Don't Like To Come Back!! There's A Café At The Entrance, A Kids Play Area (Dogs Not Allowed In There), And Poo Bins Around The Site So That You Don't Have To Carry The Bags All The Way Around. Parking Is £3 At The Moment.

Kelmarsh Tunnels
Kelmarsh Tunnel Is Now A Disused Railway In Northamptonshire. It’S A Beautiful Walk To The Tunnels. You Don’T Have To Go Through Them, You Can Go Over Them :). It’S Also A Lovely Walk From Kelmarsh To Market Harborougj. Dogs Can Be Of Lead As Well, Just Watch Out For Cyclists! Oxendon Rd Market Lancashire HARBOROUGH LE16 9.33 miles If You Are Travelling From Desborough It Is Best To Go Through Arthingworth. When Driving Down You Will See A Bridge, Just Before The Bridge You Will See A Car Park On Your Right. That’S Where I Would Recommend Parking As It Is The Start Of The Walk.
