Plenty of parking on Weekdays and good clean toilets. There is a small cafe with an outdoor area useful to shelter from the odd rainy day. The walks around the lake are popular with dog walkers and parents with smaller children
It's a wonderful and accessible place, thanks to the hard work of their ground crew, staff and volunteers, especially since they completed the new accessible platform. Surfaces are a mix of compacted grit, tarmac and dirt tracks, with some muddy areas during the winter/wet months, but is only on the far side of water and majority of routes are fine and you'll still get to enjoy most of it. There are two disabled toilets combined with baby changing and are a little cramped in my opinion, hence the 4*, a changing places unit would be amazing here if they could get a grant for one, but it's still a great place to get outdoors and I love it.
Lovely place to walk and relax. Eye pleasing scenaries & with flock of birds & Ideal for photography. PS: Parking pay machines out of order.
I visited Daventry Country Park twice, and both times felt refreshing and peaceful. The reservoir walk was calming, surrounded by greenery and bird calls. On my last visit, I wandered into the nearby village and found a beautiful canal-side road. It was quiet, almost hidden, with the still water reflecting the sky the kind of place that makes you slow down and just enjoy the moment. Those simple walks made the trip feel really special.
Lovely place for a walk with the pram, slightly bumpy in places but my little one still fell asleep! Cafe and playground available, good day out. Approx £1 per hour for parking which can be cash, card or phone app.
Great walk round with the dogs. And tires kids out. I love the cafe, good selection and nice they have dog ice cream 🍦
A lovely park even with the water level of the reservoir being low. Cafe, views, educational tags, well maintained paths and signage.
Lovely! Good (2.8km) walk around the reservoir with lots of stopping places and benches for a pause if needed. The little cafe is delightful and the servers friendly and efficient. We loved the children’s playground! I would like to see more picnic tables or places where we could bring our own chairs or sit on the grass for picnics. But the park is a great place for a family gathering and the wooded environment gave the feeling of being miles from anywhere. Highly recommended!

We often visit Tigers Daventry, either for birthday parties or a rainy day activity. The play area is vast and the kids love it. There’s a special area just for little ones too. Everything is reasonably priced and the food in the cafe is great. We can happily spend 2+ hours here. The staff are friendly and hard working. We have no complaints and we be back again soon
The team at Tigers are always very helpful, a lovely family run business that shows in their team. The play area is brilliant for different ages and I’ve had some brilliant trips with children ranging from a few months old to 10 years old. The food and drinks selection is always great for the kids and us adults too. Definitely recommend!
The team at tigers indoor play have been amazing. I am organising a charity event to raise money for the incredible people at Macintyre, a charity offering support to children and adults with learning disabilities. They have kindly donated some raffle prizes to boost our fundraising. What a kind and helpful family run business. I highly recommend, thankyou so much!
We love coming to Tigers, it’s one of our favourite spots for a fun day out. The play area is clean and well looked after, with plenty to keep the kids entertained for hours. My little one especially love the slides. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, and it just has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. The café is great too, good coffee, nice food, and decent prices, which makes it easy to sit back and enjoy a bit of peace while the kids play. It’s perfect for rainy days, playdates, or even birthday parties. Can’t recommend it enough we always leave with happy (and tired!) children!
We have just attended a birthday party and had a brilliant time! The party rooms are a fantastic space to enjoy food and the birthday cake with just your guests. The cafe upstairs is a perfect touch for the parents bring their children to the party. I have been previously with both my children and have always had a fantastic time and the food is always lovely. 100% recommend bringing your children here for a fun few hours!
Visited for a party at the weekend and the children had a great time. We've been lots of times before and it's the perfect spot for them to to have fun, and the grown ups to have a coffee/snack and chat. There's a great selection of soft play equipment and all the tables have a great view so you can easily keep an eye on the little ones. Everyone is so friendly and the party hosts when we come have always been welcoming, efficient and great with the children.
Tigers Softplay is fantastic for the children to burn off some energy. It has lots of tables that you can sit at and see where the children are at all times. My boys particularly love the football pitch and going on the mini go karts. It is perfect for any parent wanting a few hours where they don't have to watch the children and a nice coffee / snacks is a bonus. Would highly recommend.
Tigers Soft Play in Daventry is fantastic. The play area is clean, safe, and full of well-maintained equipment that keeps children entertained for hours. The staff are friendly, attentive, and clearly care about providing a great experience for families. The café offers good food and drinks at fair prices, and everything is run efficiently. It’s one of the better soft play centres in the area — highly recommended for anyone with young children.

The best dog walk in Daventry Frustrating dog owners who have no recall so be warned Great views of Daventrys landscape. Lists of history information. Still one BBC daventry radio tower remains from the war
Great place to walk the dogs and take in the views
A view from Borough hill looking towards Royal Oak.
Fantastic views... great for sunrises & moonrises...
Spring weather in February encouraged a lot of dog walkers to come. I like this place because of its historic heritage. As hill dominates over Daventry, it also offers good views on town downhill and surrounding farming lands. There is a free parking there if you wish to come by car.
Lovely walks and views from up here. Loads of history to the place.
Great for taking the kids and dog for a decent walk. Perfect distance and lovely scenery.
I Take My three woofers up there it's brilliant great view's of Northamptonshire and a great walk

Yellow Bourbon Coffee Roasters at the Ordinance Depot is an excellent place to come, get fantastic coffee relax read a book, listen to music....
What a find! The traders are so friendly and helpful. We went to visit a café we’d seen recommended online, ended up visiting 2 during our visit. Stopped off at Roman Way Brewery bought some bottles of great beer and got great recommendations. The Yellow Bourbon Coffee Roaster was excellent, lovely staff, coffee and such a nice place to relax and listen to great music on their amazing sound system. A couple of great antique shops with lots of individual rooms. Many other shops and a visitor centre too for us to visit next time.
Very interesting and historical place. Now becoming a home to many different businesses. From Gyms to garages, cafes to barbers. You might see a duck or two as well. Nice for a walk around too.
There are 2 entrances: Harmans Way is at one end of the site, closest to the visitors centre, the other entrance is at the opposite end of the site (a 5 minute walk) and is the one that the satnav takes to. It has 92 historic buildings, a canal with ducks and swans, it had its own dedicated railway spur; guided tours are available and includes drinks and biscuits afterwards, as well as toilet facilities. The ground is uneven, but not impossible for wheelchairs; plenty of retail: vinyl records, a book shop, brewery, coffee shop. Also a working trade site, so beware of traffic. Close to Weedon Bec shops, Plume of Feathers pub, as well as Upper Weedon for fuel and supermarket. Not far from the A5 and M1.
An absolute gem of history with a free museum ran by enthusiasts and people who worked there in the past. Terry was brilliant and a nice story of him in the museum. If that's not all the site is still in very good condition and houses a lot of fascinating businesses to visit so well worth going .
What a gem of a find. Looking for somewhere to visit before an afternoon wedding we came across this place. The staff were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the history of the depot and surrounding area and all for free. And also within the same area is an amazing retro cafe with loads of memorabilia. Certainly worth a visit.
ADD THIS 2 PLACES YOU NEED TO VISIT !! HIDDEN AWAY ON A HOUSING ESTATE . A GOOD FEW HOURS CAN BE SPENT WALKING ROUND AND SEEING ITS HISTORY PLUS ANTIQUES CAFES MOTOR BIKES / CARS TO SEE TOUCH AND SMELL ...
Comfortable bed and very clean. Touchpad doors took a bit of getting used to but good experience.

Beautiful woodland, especially when the bluebells are in flower. Lots of different paths, although no marked routes. There is a small car park, and people often park on the road. There are some rope swings to discover too!
Everdon Stubbs is a beautiful ancient woodland near Northampton, perfect for a family day out. The trails are peaceful and great for kids to explore, with plenty of space for dogs too. In spring, the bluebells are absolutely stunning—worth the trip alone! There’s a small car park, but you can also park along the road. No toilets on-site, so plan ahead. It is a lovely spot to unwind with friends or family.
Lovely walk in the woods, the bluebells were stunning and there were lots of different paths to take. We didn’t see many people either despite there being lots of cars parked up.
An interesting woodland, a very worthwhile visit in April when the bluebells are blooming. There's many trails and some rope swings to add some extra fun for children.
Absolutely fascinating place specially in April or Early May as bluebells bloom everywhere on the forest floor. Many trails inside so even if it gets crowded inside you wont cross many people. Not much difficult to take pushchair or wheelchair along if it hasn't rained. Very good for Dogs too. Even on sunny day with scorching heat, inside its pleasant. Just under 40 min from Leam/Warwick. Parking can be tricky as limited spaces dedicated but roadside is wide enough to parallel park no of cars.
Relaxed meander through pleasant woods. Ok in trainers in summer. You'd want boots in winter. Some great views from outer edge of wood. Watch your footing, no dog bins and plenty of owners think that makes it ok not to pick up!
Perfect for all the family pleasant walking picnic areas no benches so bring a rug the dogs love it too good run plenty of places fir thier sniffing needs ;-)
Lovely woodland with natural walks (can therefor be muddy in the wet) and some last belt surprises. Wonderful bluebells in the spring and lovely autumn colours later in the year. Small parking area and never too busy. This is a great place to visit in the spring and the autumn as well as the summer months.
