Swanning around in Lamport
The Swan at Lamport - gorgeous countryside, family friendly and super tasty; a true Northamptonshire favourite and it's perfect location for a gentle, post Sunday lunch amble at nearby Brixworth or Pitsford.

Waendel walking on sunshine
Muddy looks forward to this weekend for lots of reasons. It's dog and kid friendly, you don't have to be super-fit to take part, and there are numerous watering holes on every route

Muddy walks: Irchester Country Park
It has an adventure course with zip lines, a huge outdoor play area, a cafe and a network of trails in a 200-acre area of woodland. What's not to like?

Northampton High School
Muddy says: a vibrant and friendly all girls school. Northampton High School caters to the individual needs of each girl and encourages them to achieve their best in all areas (whatever that may be).
