Northampton Town

Bosworth Independent College is located in Northampton, a small town with a rich and distinguished history, situated in the heart of England. With London only an hour away by road or rail, and the UK’s other major university cities within easy reach, it is the perfect learning environment in a central location. Northampton remains a small market town surrounded by beautiful countryside, and today has all the added benefits of modern living. It offers the perfect environment for our young students with the town centre just a twenty-minute walk from the College. Here students can enjoy some leisure and social facilities as well as a small shopping complex. In keeping with tradition, the market square continues to hold one of the biggest open air markets in the country. It is surrounded on all four sides by historic buildings that retain much of their old charm, despite being converted to modern day shops. It is a town with ongoing investment and as the University expands, increasingly more students are coming to Northampton.

The county of Northamptonshire is famously referred to as “the Rose of the Shires” and our own College emblem reflects the relevance of the Tudor Rose and the historic links to the famous Battle of Bosworth that saw the birth of the Tudor dynasty. The county has many famous family mansions and castles, some of which we visit on our summer school programme.
