Where maps and the British landscape are concerned, Cold Ashby has something of a claim to fame. It was here, on 18 April 1936, that the Ordnance Survey's first trig pillar was erected, starting the Retriangulation of Great Britain, which saw over 11,000 pillars installed in order to accurately map the land. Unsurprisingly, given Cold Ashby's selection as a trig point venue, it occupies high ground. In fact, this is the highest village in Northamptonshire, at 656 feet (200 m) above sea level.

Stanford Reservoir lies on the border of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. It requires a permit to visit, but you can enjoy views from the road.

Not to be confused with the major Hertfordshire town to the north of London, the Northamptonshire village of Watford is known for the nearby Watford Gap. The Gap is one of England's major transport arteries due to its position through the ridge of high ground that runs across the region. There was a settlement here in Roman times called Bannaventa, which means 'gap in the hills' and it was on the route of Watling Street, the major Roman road. Today, there's a pub – the Wheelwright's Arms – and the surrounding Watford Park, an 18th-century garden cultivated on the site of the former medieval village.

This attractive Northamptonshire village lies on the route of the Jurassic Way long-distance footpath and is an important stop off just above Watford Gap. There are a number of amenities for walkers, including three pubs, one of which has rooms for the night. There are also bed and breakfast options and a grocery store.
