Northamptonshire is a mainly rural landlocked county in the centre of England, which is home to both gentle hills and modern industrial landscape. The county town of Northants is Northampton, a town once famous for its shoemaking and leather industry.

Northamptonshire is often referred to as the county of "squires and spires" due to its many historical buildings and country houses. The most well known tourist attraction in N'hants is probably Althorp House, the former home and now resting place of Princess Diana.
