Excluding the airfield itself, there are six archaeological sites within the PDS – two ‘cropmark’ sites, two sites on which detectorists have found Roman coins and metalwork, a general reference to surviving fragments of a once more extensive medieval strip field system, and an approximate position of Roman burials (including a stone coffin). There is also a listed building within the application site (Bourn Grange). However, this will be unaffected by the proposed development.

  • Canoe Camping.Pdf
    Whilst there are opportunities to wild camp along the Nene and the commercial company Canoe 2 www.canoe2.co.uk can arrange camping for you as part of a package holiday, these are places that you can use to plan your own canoe-camping trip down the Nene. Being able to park a car securely or leave it securely while you paddle down to it are important to canoeists and some, but not all, venues provide this facility. If you are happy to leave a car in a car park then please also check out my list of parking spots with access to the river. Unless I become geographically challenged whilst writing, everything should be in a downstream order from Northampton. This list is only as good as the replies I’ve had to emails and phone calls so I’m grateful for those companies and individuals who took the time to do so. If you come across other venues please message me and we can share them with other paddlers. Lastly, paid up members of Friends of the River Nene may camp on some, but again, not all, of their moorings subject to some common sense condition such as not getting in the way of bigger craft, no fires, take rubbish away etc - none of these moorings have facilities or water supplies......check with the committee if unsure. ===================================================================== Billing Aquadrome I did not receive a reply from this company but it’s a very famous local venue which also makes the news regularly for flooding! The camping page of their website https://www.billingaquadrome.com/holidays/camping/ makes mention of riverside pitches.
