Two Day Get Away Wet Weather Diary

British Culture – A parade on your rain
Our famous British weather: Reliably unreliable, predictably unpredictable.


One thing that is certain - you never know when you may need this short-break failsafe to save you from getting stuck in a downpour.

Our famous British culture: Scintillatingly interesting, unfailingly inspiring, and equally pleasing when wet.

These wet-weather contingency plans are also to be enjoyed dry during your 2-day break.

Special accommodation rates for your 2-day break in Northamptonshire.


Morning:
Shopping at Heart of the Shires

Start your day at Northamptonshire's Heart of the Shires Shopping Village - a conversion of picturesque Victorian stables and farm buildings. When it rains here you'll find delightful shelter in browsing shops of character and convenience.

There is free parking here, a restaurant for lunch and a wishing well. Toss a coin in and hope for a dry afternoon.

Open from 10am.
Early Afternoon:
Cultural Quandaries

Stay at the Falcon Hotel in idyllic Castle Ashby or the historic Saracen's Head Hotel in Towcester with rates that will make a splash with your bank manager from only £29.95 per person per night for bed and breakfast.
