East Carlton Countryside Park is situated on the edge of the beautiful Welland Valley.  The Heritage Centre in the converted coach house and stables houses a display featuring the history of Corby and the development of the iron and steel industry in the town.

Play Area - The park includes an all inclusive play area for all ages.

Cafe - The cafe is open all year and offers light meals, hot and cold drinks and ice cream.

Craft Workshops - The first floor of the old coach house has a number of craft workshops where you can watch the individual craftsmen practise their skills.

Country Walks - There are country walks throughout the park, through fine mature woodland and grasslands. You can see a varied habitat and a great variety of wildlife throughout the year.

The Hall - The Hall is unfortunately not open to the public but can be viewed from the park.  The present hall, built in 1863 on the site of a previous hall, is thought to be the third hall on this site.  Like all old buildings, it does have a ghost who has on occasions been known to visit the old coach house.
