What visitors say
A lovely place for a peaceful family walk. Daventry Country Park has a large reservoir in the middle with a well-maintained walking trail of about 3.5 km (2.2 miles) around it. Most of the route (around 80%) goes through woodland, so it's pleasantly shaded and comfortable even on warm summer days. There's a short section across the reservoir on a causeway, which offers beautiful open views of the water. The whole walk took us around 1½ hours, and we comfortably managed it with an 8-month-old in a buggy, as well as our 3-year-old and 7-year-old. There's also a nice children's play area where kids can easily spend an hour having fun. Parking is available 24 hours a day, with only a small parking charge. Overall, it's a great place for families, a relaxing walk, or simply enjoying nature. We'll definitely be visiting again.

A lovely country park. Parking is paid for - cash or app only at the moment I believe. It's a lovely walk around, with lots of wildlife to see. A good play area, clean toilets and a cafe. We came for the open water swimming, and would definitely recommend booking on to a session and giving it a try!

I really enjoyed coming here with my bf. We had a great walk around the lake on a hot Sunday. There’s a great little cafe area just before you start the walk round and many benches around the lake to sit at and take in the view. Would 100% recommend for walkers/ runners.

I visited Daventry Country Park twice, and both times felt refreshing and peaceful. The reservoir walk was calming, surrounded by greenery and bird calls. On my last visit, I wandered into the nearby village and found a beautiful canal-side road. It was quiet, almost hidden, with the still water reflecting the sky the kind of place that makes you slow down and just enjoy the moment. Those simple walks made the trip feel really special.
