Today, the restored Saracens Head Hotel is the pride and joy of Towcester, much as it has been for centuries. Saracens Head Hotel is also one of the closest hotels to the Silverstone motor racing circuit, the home of British motorsport. Milton Keynes and Northampton are approximately 10 miles away.
