Northampton is an excellent destination to visit several significant churches.

Head out of town to Fotheringhay to see the ruins of the castle where Mary, Queen of Scots lived her final days.
To spend time in the crisp English air, take a stroll through Castle Ashby Gardens, complete with a menagerie and a tearoom. Nearby Salcey Forest is a gorgeous setting for a hike or bike ride with the family.

Oxford
Although Oxford is probably best known for its world-class university and the famous Bodleian library, there is much more to the city than just academia. On a sunny day, take a punt down the River Cherwell at the Cherwell Boathouse, but make sure to book in advance if you'd like a chauffeur.
If the weather is less favourable, visit the famous Oxford Covered Market, where you can wander through over 55 shops in the 18th-century building. Oxford is also home to several museums, including the famous Ashmolean Museum that has been around since 1683. The Ashmolean mainly showcases art and archaeology; however, if that's not your style, alternatives include the Museum of Natural History or the History of Science Museum.
If you'd prefer to experience history first-hand, visit Oxford Castle, a building that has been in existence for over 1,000 years. Guided tours are available where you can hear stories of the castle's inhabitants and its fascinating history.
