Wellingborough, Market town in North Northamptonshire, England
Wellingborough is a market town in North Northamptonshire that sits along the River Nene and displays Victorian buildings. Streets in the centre lead to public squares, shops and parks that shape the daily rhythm of the town.
The settlement appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086 and received its market charter from King John in 1201. The town grew during the 19th century with the arrival of the railway and the boot and shoe industry.
The Castle Theatre hosts performances and concerts that draw visitors from across the region. Shops and cafés line the market square, especially busy on market days.
The railway station offers direct connections to London St Pancras International in around 50 minutes. The centre is walkable, with parking available near the market square and main streets.
The Waendel Walk event takes place each May and brings together participants from several countries. Routes wind through the Northamptonshire countryside and start from the town centre.
