About Daventry

Known for

The BBC World Service transmitter masts (the tall radio masts visible for miles), Borough Hill (an Iron Age hillfort with extraordinary views), the Grand Union Canal, and a Northamptonshire market town at the heart of England

A little history

Daventry sits at the geographical centre of England. Borough Hill, the large Iron Age hillfort above the town, was used by Charles I as his headquarters before the Battle of Naseby in 1645. The BBC's long-wave transmitter at Daventry broadcast the World Service across the globe for decades.

Local tip

Borough Hill Country Park for extraordinary views across the Midlands — genuinely one of the finest viewpoints in central England. The Grand Union Canal towpath walk. The Wednesday market for local produce.
