Castle Ashby Gardens

Castle Ashby is the ancestral home of the 7th Marquess of Northampton, making it an important sight to see and a great piece of history. Castle Ashby hosts many events through the year so check the calendar on their website for more information.

During your visit to this fantastic site, stroll through the Italian Gardens, Arboretum, and the Orangery. The gardens are open year-round and encompass 35 acres of the 10,000 acre estate so they are well worth a visit during your time in Northampton. The site also offers a children’s play area, menagerie with marmosets and meerkats, plant centre, gift shop and tea rooms.

What’s more, is that Castle Ashby Gardens welcomes dogs, so you can bring along your waggy-tailed friend when you stay at our dog friendly hotel in Northampton.
