Close to the historical village of Brixworth, Northamptonshire's youngest country park is a patchwork of meadows and newly planted woodland with stunning views over Pitsford Water.

The park is a haven for wildlife - listen out for the song of the skylark and look out for the badgers that forage in the meadows at night. Brixworth Country Park surrounds Pitsford Water - a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) boasting one of the largest Gull roosts in the country.
