Becerril de Campos está situado en la bella y serena comarca natural de Tierra de Campos. Bordeando la villa nos encontramos el ramal de Campos del Canal de Castilla, una de las más importantes obras de ingeniería de la España ilustrada. Cruza el canal el puente de San Juan, por el que en la actualidad pasa la carretera que conduce a la Laguna de la Nava.

Las Casas del Corro están situadas en el centro de la villa de Becerril de Campos, declarada Conjunto Histórico en 2004, lo que nos invita a pasear y disfrutar por un importante y rico patrimonio cultural y artístico.
