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.

This brief guide, produced by Towcester Town Council, aims to give advice and information about Towcester, its amenities and places of interest. If you require further advice or assistance call at the Town Council Office, located in the Town Hall, where the Town Clerk or her assistant will be pleased to help you.
