Corby has transformed over the past two decades and Priors Hall Park sits on its north-eastern fringe, close to the Rockingham Forest countryside. Families are well served by Priors Hall Park Academy on site, with Brooke Weston Academy, Corby Business Academy and Kingswood among the secondary options nearby. Commuters benefit from Corby railway station, offering direct East Midlands Railway services into London St Pancras in around 70 minutes, while the A43 and A6003 link quickly to Kettering, Stamford and the A14. For shopping, Corby town centre's Willow Place has Asda, Primark and high street names, with a large Tesco Extra, Aldi and Morrisons a short drive away. Rockingham Castle, East Carlton Country Park and the Corby Cube theatre and library provide weekend interest, and there's a decent spread of pubs and independent restaurants in Corby, Weldon and the surrounding stone villages. Oundle and Stamford, both beautiful market towns, are within easy reach for a special meal out.
