Daventry Country Park

Daventry Country Park is a popular Green Flag Award winning park ideally situated in the urban fringe of Daventry within 1 mile of the town centre on the A425, Northern Way, easily accessible by car and with the benefit of cycle ways and footpaths from the residential areas.

 

It is centred on the old Daventry Reservoir which is one of two reservoirs in Daventry, the other being Drayton Reservoir. The Country Park has an attractive setting, the irregular shape of the reservoir, the undulating nature of the topography and presence of mature trees give the appearance of a natural lake, pleasant views both of the surrounding countryside and to the town centre are seen from many points on the banks.

DCP Visitors Centre ReVamp

 

We are extremely lucky to have solar panels providing electricity. The centre was made into a "Solar House" through partnership between the Council and market leaders in solar power. People are welcome to come and see for themselves how solar power works.  In November 2005, the visitor centre welcomed the addition of a micro wind turbine providing the visitors centre with more clean and renewable electricity.
