Built in 1602 and a pub since 1719, this delightful white-washed old pub stands on the old A50 Northampton to Leicester road consisting of one bar but with several rooms, including a cosy dining area to the rear. It exudes rustic charm and offers a welcoming escape from the world outside. Inside the crackling fireplace casts a warm glow, complemented by low wooden beams. In late July, the pub holds its annual beer festival in the garden and newly extended car park. The Red Lion has been run by Simon and Louise Cottle since 2011. Well worth a visit.
