Burton Latimer Pocket Park was established in 1995 on the flood-plain bordering the river Ise. There is a wide diversity of wildlife along the riverbank, and within the surrounding grassland and hedgerows.

Access to the park is from Station Road, and the site is also crossed by public footpaths to Isham and Kettering.

Annual duck race

Burton Latimer’s famous duck race and fête takes place in the pocket park in June each year.

Volunteers needed

The Pocket Park team requires additional volunteers to help run and organise events and to carry out maintenance work that may become necessary from time to time. All equipment is provided – you just need to supply your own energy and enthusiasm.
