Stanwick Lakes is a unique 750acre countryside attraction and nature reserve in the heart of Northamptonshire's beautiful Nene Valley, and is widely considered to be one of the region's most imaginative outdoor activity destinations. It offers the best of both worlds: extensive play areas to keep adventurous families entertained for hours, and for nature lovers, walkers and cyclists, acres of wide open spaces and paths, where blue skies are reflected in tranquil waters.
And if the weather is less than perfect? Head indoors to the visitor centre, with its host of facilities and activities.
Stanwick Lakes is managed as a social enterprise by environmental charity, Rockingham Forest Trust, in partnership with East Northamptonshire Council.
Can anyone recommend a place where there is a playground for my daughter and a place for a coffee please

Stony Stratford (long walk along river and play areas, plenty of coffee places in High street). Stanwick Lakes country park on way to Irthlingborough and Wellingborough, great walks dotted with play areas and one large one near café area. ttps://www.stanwicklakes.org.uk
