マーストン・トラッセルでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A fascinating series of ten locks with many cosy eateries.

Foxton locks is the longest staircase flight of canal locks in Britain. The feet of engineering was completed in 1814 and allows canal boats to climb the 75-foot (23m) hill. There is a museum here and you can take a boat trip up the locks (summer only).

Really nice walk - has everything - doesn't disappoint.

The basin marks the convergence point of the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal and the Market Harborough arm, situated at the base of Foxton Locks. Foxton Locks is the 'staircase' of ten canal locks. This flight of locks was built in the early 19th century to enable canal boats to navigate the steep incline. The locks are arranged in two groups of five, allowing boats to ascend or descend the hill.

Great little coffee shop at the top of Foxton Locks.

Enjoy a bite to eat or refreshing drink in this pub overlooking the locks.

The marina at Union Wharf is at the end of the Market Harborough arm of a peaceful stretch of the Grand Union canal which meanders through the rural Leicestershire landscape.

Foxton Locks are a series of no less than ten canal locks consisting of two "staircases" each of five locks, on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal. Alongside the locks is the site of the Foxton Inclined Plane, built in 1900 to resolve the restrictions imposed by the lock flight.
