Also, is Grafham Water worth visiting? Just looking for somewhere not to far from Kettering to go for a wander for the day.
Cheers,

There are quite a few country parks near Kettering - most of them are good for walking and biking around.
Grafham is big and has bike hire and a nice café. Rutland is bigger (about 26 miles around) and a bit further away, but has several stops on the way round. Pitsford is probably the closest to Kettering and is smaller so you can walk around if you like, but can get busy on a nice day with bike and walkers.
All those 3 are described here: http://www.anglianwater.co.uk/leisure/w ... /pitsford/
If you are with kids consider http://www.stanwicklakes.org.uk/northampton/ as this has a massive climbing frame with water for the kids to play in - also has a good café and wildlife hides and several nice walks.
Also look at this site:
http://www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/en/c ... fault.aspx
We use Sywell, Irchester, Brampton Valley Way, Fermyn Wood and Brixworth (which is the other name for pitsford above)
I am making the Kettering area sound really rather nice - I should work at the council!!!
You will also feel the love for Wickstead park on Sunday which has some nice walks around the lake, and a massive free playground for kids (also has paid for rides - like a low rent Alton Towers - but these will probably be closed until Easter.
Hope that helps
