Corby
Location
Corby occupies a gently elevated position in north Northamptonshire, about 8 miles northeast of Kettering. Its geographic coordinates are 52.4919° N, 0.6911° W.
The A43 provides a direct link south towards Northampton and the M1, while the A6003 connects the town to Oakham and Rutland to the north. Corby railway station, reopened in 2009, runs East Midlands Railway services to London St Pancras International and Kettering, giving the town convenient mainline access.
History
Corby was a modest Northamptonshire village until vast deposits of ironstone transformed it during the early 20th century. The steelworks drew thousands of Scottish workers south during the 1930s, giving the town its enduring "Little Scotland" nickname — a heritage still celebrated through an annual Highland Gathering. When the steel industry declined in the 1980s, Corby faced significant economic upheaval but responded with large-scale regeneration that has reshaped its town centre, housing, and employment landscape.
Today, modern retail developments, new schools, and improved transport infrastructure sit alongside reminders of the town's industrial past, reflecting a community that has adapted with real resilience.
Transport Links
Corby railway station sits on the Midland Main Line, offering regular services south to London St Pancras (typically around 70 minutes) and north to Kettering, Leicester, and Nottingham. For motorists, the A43 heads south towards Northampton and connects with the M1 at junction 15a, while the A6003 runs north into Rutland.
Our Corby taxi service works hand in hand with these connections, providing reliable first- and last-mile transfers to and from the station, as well as longer journeys to airports and destinations across the Midlands.
Attractions & Amenities
Despite its relatively compact size, Corby punches above its weight for things to see and do. The magnificent Rockingham Castle sits just outside town, overlooking the Welland Valley, while the Elizabethan ruins of Kirby Hall are managed by English Heritage and open to visitors year-round. Closer to the centre, Corby Boating Lake offers a relaxed waterside setting for a stroll or a spot of fishing, and East Carlton Country Park provides panoramic countryside views and woodland walking trails.
The town centre itself features the Willow Place shopping complex, a choice of independent eateries, and a regular programme of community markets and seasonal events that bring residents together throughout the year.
Car Parking
Town-centre parking is available at several pay-and-display car parks, including those adjacent to Willow Place and near the Corby Cube. On-street spaces can be found on quieter residential roads, though availability drops noticeably on market days and during community events.
For a stress-free alternative, let our taxi service handle the journey so you can skip the parking search entirely and step straight out at your destination.
