The small village of Grendon in East Midlands is a wonderful base camp for adventures in Northamptonshire and nearby counties. The village sits on a hill, and a brook divides it into two sections. Thatched homes with limestone walls dot the countryside. St. Mary Parish Church welcomes travelers in the building and tranquil churchyard. Meanwhile, local pubs let you sync into the dreamy pace of village life. You can ask the locals about the remains of a medieval settlement behind the 16th-17th century Grendon Hall. They can tell you about the folk story of Grendon’s moonrakers, as well. If you want to discover this stunning village, staying in unique accommodations such as a yurt with glamping amenities would make a memorable trip. Check out the best yurts near Grendon, UK.
