Potterspury, Paulerspury and Yardley Gobion are worth a look. Towcester (pronounced "Toaster") and Whittlebury will be more expensive but still worth considering.

Camping not an option?

While down this way make sure you pop in to 2 local biking cafes. Super Sausage in Potterspury and Jacks Hill just past Towcester. Both places tend to do some kind of event or show over the weekend so always worth a look.

Post by: FuZzBoM on 05 April 2015, 11:44:37 am: Yep I know it is at Silverstone. My comment was regarding staying at Derby for it.
Traveling 75 miles from Derby to Silverstone is not what I would call "Not too far"
