Steeped in tradition and history, Fawsley Hall Hotel & Spa is a beautiful luxury country house hotel in Northamptonshire surrounded by formal gardens and parkland landscaped by Capability Brown in the 1760s. It was a home built for entertaining: Elizabeth I and other monarchs all enjoyed its fine hospitality, and that tradition continues to this day.

Often described as the Rose of the Shires, Northamptonshire offers something for everyone who visits. Located in the very heart of England and less than an hour away from London, Northamptonshire has much to offer whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or family break. For outdoor lovers the beautiful boating lakes, country parks, network of sleepy canals dotted by old navigational inns and ancient woodland areas are a great opportunity to get away from it all. So too, are the miles of cycle path that follow the landscape of the Brampton Valley Way. In and around the sleepy villages and main market towns there are excellent leisure facilities with great shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, theatres and cinemas, together with UK's oldest theme park Wicksteed Park and Northampton’s famous motorsport venue Silverstone Circuit. In fact, for sports fans there is also Towcester Racecourse and Northampton Saints' Franklin's Gardens stadium.
