These are great places to take kids to in the Wellingborough area. Most are free or have small parking charge
1. Stanwick Lakes
Thom McKiernan: So many different areas to explore, make sure you go around the adventure trails on both the left and right of the main play area
2. Irchester Country Park
Thom McKiernan: Limited free parking in the lay-by off the A45 but also very easy to cycle to or short walk from Tesco car park
3. Queensway Play Area
Thom McKiernan: Newly refurbished with extra equipment for slightly older kids
4. Sywell Country Park
Thom McKiernan: Really nice (but quite long) nature trail around the reservoir. Also nice sandy play area
5. Brixworth Country Park
Thom McKiernan: Ask for a trail sheet from the shop to keep the kids entertained on the short walk around the park
6. Fermyn Woods Country Park
7. Salcey Forest
Thom McKiernan: Great place for cycling but you can't go here without going on the aerial walkway. Amazing views from right above the treetops! (also suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs)
8. Barnwell Country Park
