East Carlton Country Park

This is a 100 acre park and can be found signposted at the East Carlton turn off the A427 between Market Harborough and Corby. The park offers splendid views over the Welland valley, and is a haven for wild life, with its variety of habitats. The open parkland has a children's play area, a picnic area and an alpine garden

There are three nature trails around the park, which pass through woods and meadows. Britain's largest Boled Lime Tree can be found in the park. Contained within a former coach house is the Heritage centre, containing permanent exhibitions covering the history of steel making in Corby.
