The Secret of Corby

Care to take a step back in time? If so, you must consider a visit to the Rockingham Castle. Constructed by the request of William the Conqueror, this very unique piece of history is located a very short distance from many of the beautiful Corby hotels that the city is known for.
I have been to Corby a few times during my life, as it is where my mother grew up, and each and every time has been wonderful. I do not know why more people prefer the larger cities, when the opportunities to visit these cozy small towns are plentiful. England is full of them, yet they are constantly overshadowed by London, Liverpool, and many of the other major cities.

Anyway, the castle has remained in the family of William the Conqueror for nearly 500 years, which makes it very fascinating. The family that currently owns it is more than willing to provide visitors with an inside look at what it is like to live in a castle, while providing guided tours.

Once you have finished your tour of the Rockingham Castle, the Rockingham raceway is only a few miles away. The raceway is always a great source of entertainment, as it puts on events that typically please people from all walks of life. The racetrack is much more than cars speeding down the runway as fast as they can. You need to experience it in order to fully appreciate it. Furthermore, if you are looking for a great place to call home for your trip, many of the hotels near rockingham raceway are great alternatives to staying downtown. They offer their guests such an extensive list of available services that often go unmatched. In all, Corby is a place that has not received the recognition that it deserves, so visit it before the secret gets out.
