Farmland near Brixworth, Northants
Northamptonshire is a largely rural county on the fringes of the east of England with just a handful of large towns and no city. This was taken in the rich arable farmland that lies between Brixworth and Cottesbrooke, and is some seven miles north of the county town of Northampton. The Northampton and Market Harborough railway was opened in 1859 and passed through these fields. But it was first closed to passenger traffic in 1960 and to freight traffic in 1981. The trackbed of the former railway was reopened in 1993 as the Brampton Valley Way.
