Towcester sits in south Northamptonshire, positioned along the line of the Roman Watling Street. It is widely regarded as one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the country, a fact reflected in the presence of the Bury Mount, the remains of an 11th-century Norman motte-and-bailey castle overlooking the Watermeadows. Today, it remains a traditional market town with a layout that still follows the original Roman thoroughfare, though it is now better known for its proximity to the Silverstone circuit and its own busy National Hunt racecourse. Geographically, it is well-placed for those working in Milton Keynes or Northampton, both of which are roughly a twenty-minute drive away. While the town has grown significantly with new developments to the south and east, the centre retains a mix of independent shops and older coaching inns, serving as a practical hub for the surrounding rural villages.
