Oundle is widely regarded as the finest stone town in Northamptonshire — an attractive market town of golden limestone buildings on a loop of the River Nene, with Fotheringhay (where Mary Queen of Scots was executed) just four miles upstream and the Nene Way long-distance path passing directly through.

A genuinely handsome stone town with excellent independent shops and good accommodation, Oundle makes a relaxed base for the Nene Valley — one of the East Midlands’ most pleasant and accessible river landscapes.
