This is the village of Isham in the north of Northamptonshire. It is on the main road between Kettering and Wellingborough and has some of the oldest buildings in the area. St Peter's Church dates back to the late 12th century, while the thatched building was originally three separate dwellings and dates from the late 1600s. In total, there are over 20 buildings in the village that are listed as being of historical or architectural interest.

Ullswater is in the northeast of the Lake District and is a typical ribbon lake, formed by glaciers after the last Ice Age. It is just over seven miles long and is the second largest lake after Windermere, which is to the south of it. This landing stage is near Blaira Force, and is used by steamers that operate on the lake, but we noticed that it was securely locked when we visited, presumably awaiting the holiday season.
