Leicestershire's waterways meander through the best of rural England.

Water meadows alternate with quiet villages as you cruise along the River Soar – one of Britain’s best kept secrets. The Grand Union Canal Leicester Line is an old favourite with boaters and walkers, taking in the historic Foxton Locks and the gentle rolling hills of Leicestershire.
