Northamptonshire · local guide
Towcester sits on the old Roman road of Watling Street, now the A5, a few miles from Silverstone. Race weekends aside, it is a quiet market town with easy access for recovery vehicles.

The A5 runs through the town on the line of Watling Street, and the A43 bypasses it on its way between the M1 and the M40. Towcester Racecourse is on the Easton Neston estate just outside the town.
Silverstone circuit lies a few miles south-west. On major race weekends, roads across the area are extremely busy, and it is sensible to avoid booking a collection then.
During the British Grand Prix and other big events at Silverstone, traffic management covers the A43 and many local roads. Book your collection for another weekend or a weekday.
