Rushden Lakes is a shopping and leisure centre which opened in 2017. It’s located beside Skew Bridge Lake in Northamptonshire and was constructed on the site of gravel pits, a dry ski slope and a country club which had lain derelict for many years. The complex houses a visitor centre for the Nene Wetlands which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) – this area is home to many species of birds and plants. We really liked Rushden Lakes as a complex – there are loads of shops, including Waterstones, as well as restaurants, a cinema and canoeing!
