Northamptonshire

Ellie Harrison explores Northamptonshire. Her journey begins in Northampton, home of the county's famous shoe industry. She then travels to Coton Manor, where she discovers the story of its gardens and fabulous flamingos.

At Holdenby, Ellie finds out how the once-largest private house in England was first a palace, and then a prison. And journey's end finds Ellie just over the border in Bedfordshire, at Santa Pod Raceway - home of European drag car racing.
