The town of Towcester, surrounded by the beautiful Northamptonshire
countryside, has much to offer both resident and visitor. Towcester
is the oldest town in Northamptonshire and has a  long,
varied and interesting history. In recognition of this, many of
the homes and businesses that line Watling Street are Grade 2 listed
and the whole central area is designated a conservation area. It
is a town of contrasts where the old mixes happily with the new;
the lively Watling Street, the business and commercial lifeline
of the town, lies alongside many areas of rural tranquillity. Towcester
enjoys a strong sense of community and this is evidenced by the
great variety of local clubs and societies that flourish in the
town.
The town is well served by road, being close to the M1 and A43 providing
routes north, south, east and west. Rail links to all parts of the
country are available at Milton Keynes and Northampton. It has a
good range of small shops and services to cater for its 9,416 inhabitants.
New housing developments, with associated schools and leisure amenities,
cater for the town’s growing population.
