Landscape near Brixworth, Northamptonshire

This is an edited version of a photo that was taken at this time of year, several years ago. In the far distance can be seen the spire of Brixworth Church, which is recognised as the second oldest in the country. Northamptonshire is an attractive rural county on the edge of the South Midlands and East Anglia, some 70 or 80 miles north of London. It has gently rolling countryside and dozens of beautiful stone-built villages. It was once known as the "County of Spires and Squires" on account of the many church spires and large country houses with their estates. Now it's probably more famous for being the location of Bridget Jones's family home.
