Intensive Driving Courses Northampton

Northampton is a large town with a population of 225,000 residents. It’s one of the largest towns in  England and has many historical influences and facts during its presence.

As Northampton is such a large place, there are many parts you will practice with and come across. With many districts and suburbs, the driving test centre in Northampton is located near the Kingsheath estate which is situated in the west side of Northampton

The challenging parts of Northampton are the 2 roundabouts which are the Moulton park roundabout which connects Northampton to Kettering to the north and the Sixfields roundabout which is close to the M1 motorway and the A43 dual-carriageway connecting it to Towcester.

With other nearby towns, Northampton is the main town in Northamptonshire and acts as the centre for all retail, commercial and political for the county. Sometimes, you may have to go outside of Northampton because of the test centre waiting times in places like Kettering or Wellingborough.

If you’re not from Northampton but live outside and would like to do an intensive course, please consider visiting our other pages: Kettering, Corby & Wellingborough to see some more information on driving in these towns.

Driving around in the local villages is also key to getting a good learning experience in rural settings.
