Places to go near Market Harborough
Leicestershire is ensured continual fame among the boating fraternity by virtue of Foxton Locks – once the site of the historic Foxton Inclined Plane Boat Lift. Visitors today can take advantage of the Foxton Locks tearoom and pub – once they’ve seen the sights of the dedicated museum of course. Elsewhere, Leicestershire is home to Britain’s only main line steam railway, the Great Central Railway.
