Northampton South West propect

The highest ground to the south of Northampton is known as Hunsbury Hill. Over at least the past 400 years this hill and its northern slopes have been used as a vantage point for capturing South West view of the town. These views generally show St Peter’s church lying near the river on the left of the scene.
