Darsdale Farm is a new community development situated in Raunds, close to the picturesque Stanwick Lakes and near to Rushden Lakes, a brand new shopping village that's taking the county by storm. Once complete Darsdale Farm will consist of up to 400 homes.
Raunds Town Centre
A small market town in rural Northamptonshire, Raunds is on the southern edge of the Nene Valley surrounded by countryside. Stanwick Lakes is reachable by foot and is internationally recognised for its birdlife and managed by the Rockingham Forest Trust.
History can be found within the 19 listed buildings in Raunds including The Manor House and St Peters Church, which holds the second tallest spire on a church in Northampton at 202ft tall and was built between the 12th and 14th Century.
The East Northamptonshire Green Way has a project, 'Out to water, Into History' which will enhance the stretch of the East Northamptonshire Greenway from Rushden Lakes to Asda in the heart of Rushden. Funded by the Heritage Lottery through the Nenescape Landscape Partnership Scheme, this five year project will improve this section of the Greenway by providing a clear link, installing signposting and welcoming gateways, creating a ‘Friends of the Greenway’ group, implementing and delivering a landscape management plan and making it a nicer green corridor linking the new and old Rushden. Nenescape is delivering 16 other projects with several partner organisations along the River Nene between Northampton and Peterborough.
