Bell Plantation is an independent Country and Outdoor Living Centre, built on the historic site of the same name. Originally owned by the Bell Coaching Inn in Towcester and used to graze and rest the horses after a busy day pulling the carriages to and from London along the Watling Street.

At Christmas time there is a large range of seasonal goods to be had.

Silverstone Garden Machines has a large range of ride-on mowers, etc. for sale, both new and second hand in the north wing, whilst glass houses to the south contain equine requisits, and a hot-tub, barbeque and garden funiture outlet.
