Morning:
Conquer the Rain
Rockingham Castle, built by William the Conqueror, is Britains best preserved example of a Norman Castle and offers you a two-for-one reason to shake off your umbrella and step into a fascinating chapter of our past.
On route to your next stop treat your taste buds to some tantalising local cuisine at The Benefield Wheatsheaf in Upper Benefield.
Afternoon:
Worship our Weather
Glory-Be to the magnificent church of St. Mary and All Saints in the thatched village of Fotheringhay. The tower of the church is unlike any other in Northamptonshire and is instantly recognisable as one of Britain's classic beauties.
NMove through the 15th Century towards Lowick Church and its striking octagonal lantern tower, which as you approach you'll see is topped by a cluster of golden weathervanes. Noted in the doomsday book this hidden bastion of history is pretty as a picture with sunlight shining through or raindrops shimmering overhead.
Evening:

A night's stay for two at Rushton Hall, including dinner in the Tresham Restaurant and a Tension Melt Massage in the Stableyard Spa all for just £99 per person, offer valid until June 30th 2010.
