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.

A great route from Northampton to the picturesque town of Market Harborough and beyond, an especially easy route to and from the Railway Station in both towns. There are two tunnels, one at Kelmarsh and another at Oxendon so don't forget your lights, other things to mention are, where route 6 crosses the A5199 at the Windhover Pub to un-adopted road leading to Northampton via Windrush Way the path is tarmac, north from the Windhover is all gravel and quite bumpy in parts. If you have time why not visit Pitsford Country Park, its roughly 7 miles round some stunning countryside and you can grab drinks and eats at the Willow Tree Café!

Lovely place for a picnic, but be aware that most of the routes out involve some serious climbing for this part of the world. Like Norfolk, not all Rutland is as flat as many think.

The historic village of Arthingworth has eight listed buildings. Chief amongst them is the impressive St Andrews Church, which is Grade II*-listed. The main structure of the church was erected in the 12th and 14th century and today it is a grand sight in the Northamptonshire countryside. Arthingworth is just north of the Brampton Valley Way, a 14-mile (22.5 km) trail that uses the course of the former Market Harborough to Northampton railway. The Bull's Head is a traditional drovers' inn, serves good food and has eight en suite rooms in a separate accommodation block.

Great views from most of the way round. Don’t try and ride up to the reservoir from the south side (between Caldecott and Great Easton) or you’ll get very told off for trespassing at the reservoir wall!

Quieter than nearby Rutland water. Couple of steep climbs to get back out of the reservoir.

Quiet lanes surround about half this reservoir with short climbs on each side
