Oundle

Oundle is an ancient market town, attractively situated on rising ground beside a meander of the River Nene. The town is skirted by water meadows, which are a haven for wildlife and much favoured by strollers, artists and anglers.

The town centre is built of local Jurassic limestone with roofs of Collyweston slate. The mainly 13th Century parish church, with its striking spire, is considered to be one of the most beautiful in the Nene Valley and is visible for miles. Oundle is also famous for its public school, which contributes many buildings of outstanding historical and architectural interest to the town.
