Its main county town is Northampton, but other towns of note in the area include Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and Daventry.

Northamptonshire was historically most famous for it’s bustling shoe and leather industry. However more recently it’s perhaps better recognised for being the home of Silverstone racing circuit.
