LOCAL AREA INFORMATION
Divided into two smaller settlements, Upper and Lower Harlestone and lying to the northwest of Northampton along the A428, much of the land and many of the properties are still owned by Althorp estate, the main house of which was Diana, Princess of Wales' family home. Village amenities are contained within Upper Harlestone and include St Andrews church, a primary school and golf course, though it is Lower Harlestone that has a public house. Just outside the village as you travel back towards Northampton is a large wood and country park, Harlestone Firs, which is extremely popular with walkers and cyclists, opposite which is a garden centre offering a large selection of plants, gifts and equipment. The nearest shopping facilities are located in Duston just 2 miles away and include supermarkets, local grocers, hairdressers, florist, travel agent, petrol and garage services. For a wider selection of high street services, Northampton town centre is less than 5 miles away and also has a mainline train station to both Birmingham New Street and London Euston.
