The local area

Things to do in Corby

This lively town in the heart of the Midlands has a history that can be traced to the Vikings and is known for its Scottish connection. It used to be called ‘Little Scotland’ because of the number of Scottish steelworkers who came to work here in the 1930s.

As well as having numerous amenities, including impressive swimming facilities at Corby International Pool - on the doorstep, these Shared Ownership homes for over 60s in Corby are surrounded by green spaces and historic attractions.

On the outskirts of Corby town centre you’ll find Hazel and Thoroughsale Woods and King's Wood Nature Reserve, which are part of an ancient woodland called Rockingham Forest. Once hunting grounds for Royalty, these are now packed with wildlife and are brilliant places to explore. Next to Hazel Wood is Corby Boating Lake – great for walking and fishing and with a popular café. English Heritage’s Elizabethan Kirby Hall makes for a lovely day out in the area, as does the stately Deene Park which has been owned by the Brudenell family since 1514.

The town also has a strong community spirit as illustrated by the Corby Pole Fair. This unique event occurs every 20 years and large crowds gather to hear the reading of the Royal Charter, eat roast ox and enjoy traditions like climbing the greasy pole.

Corby is well connected too. From the train station you can be in central London in just over an hour and a half.
