Sadly the visitor centre is closed and the whole place is padlocked up. I had to hold my phone above the wall for the pictures

Isn’t the visitor centre literally just a half size Portakabin or have they splashed the cash recently?

I don’t actually remember a visitor centre….

Me neither - it was not much more than a kiosk the last time I went.

One of mine too! I love it! My ex lived in Kettering so I’d drive past it a lot even though that wasn’t the quickest way, I just loved popping past to see it. You go past it on the Leicester to London train but it’s just not the same.

Wasn’t Tresham obsessed with the number 3 (partly because of the Holy Trinity) and went Number Three Mad with this? Also didn’t he do Lyveden New Bield? Still need to go there (last time we tried we arrived shortly before closing so couldn’t get in)

Yes! And also nicknamed Tres due to that and his name I think? Definitely worth a visit….
