Northampton Overview:

Situated on the banks of the River Nene and within England's south-east midlands, Northampton is England's largest town and hosts a reasonable and varied selection of attractions. Northampton is frequently referred to as "The City of Squires and Spires" and is loved for the myriad of restaurants, shops and cultural sites that fringe the city streets. For the shoe-lover, Northampton is in fact Britain's 'boot and shoe capital'.

• Tynemouth Castle and Priory: Built as far back as the 11th Century, the Tynemouth Castle and Priory are recognised as significant historic landmarks. The scenic views from the site are spectacular, so too are the gun batteries and large cemetery.

• Hadrian's Wall: Built by the Romans around AD122, Hadrian's Wall is a historic landmark that signifies the Roman Empire's northern-most reign at the time of the wall's construction.

The Armstrong Bridge Market, the Newcastle Farmers' Market, the Quayside Market, the Tynemouth Flea Market, the Grainger Market and the Greenmarket; but to name a few.
