The town sits on the banks of the River Nene and offers a great range of attractions, from fascinating museums and galleries to beautiful green parks and a buzzing nightlife. The town's impressive market square, that dates to the early 13th century, is now completely pedestrianised and is used for regular markets, events and activities. By the 1800s, Northampton had emerged as the UK's leading manufacturer of leather and footwear products; this history is depicted at the town's museum which has the world's biggest display of footwear. Althorp House, the ancestral home of the Spencer family, is also well worth a visit.
