Situated about 5 miles along the Nene Valley, connected to Islip by a cycleway and walkway, Stanwick Lakes is a unique 750 acre 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.
