School Visits Northamptonshire
inspiration and ideas
Major towns and cities include Northampton, Daventry, Kettering, Corby, and Wellingborough. Northamptonshire's pre-Roman occupation can be seen in the form of hill forts like Hunsbury. In Saxon times, Northamptonshire was part of Mercia, while during the Civil War it saw conflict in the form of the Battle of Naseby. Whichever period of Bitish history your class are studying, Northamptonshire and its neighbouring counties are rich with opportunities.
As well as traditional and more famous school trip venues; the likes of Kennilworth Castle, nearby Stratford for Shakespeare, you will find below some excellent ideas on this page. Drama in the Woods for open air theatre, mechanical art, VR experiences, or why not visit a dinosaur!
