Kettering is surrounded by a number of smaller towns and quaint villages. The Market Town of Rothwell for example, is thriving. Just 5 miles from Kettering, the town is rapidly developing as the home of boutique shopping and independent traders. The town is also rich in heritage and has an affluent and distinctive feel to it and is home to the award winning restaurant The Old Bakehouse.
The opening of a new rail link between Kettering and Corby allows the two towns to complement one another, providing shoppers with distinctly different but complementary shopping offers.
Desborough is home to a number of factory outlets and has also experienced rapid housing growth in recent years with the addition of high quality housing at an affordable cost. The town is poised for future regeneration and the local Council, working with its partners, has made important land acquisition to help enable and facilitate future regeneration.
Burton Latimer has a relaxed feel to it and is home to a range of restaurants, one of which was nominated for Gordon Ramsay’s F Word Best Local Restaurant.
