Foxton Locks Basin

Highlight • River

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.

Foxton Swing Bridge

Highlight • Structure

Foxton road swing bridge is the very first navigational feature tourists trying their hand at narrow boating will encounter on leaving Market Harborough marina.

It is a piece of road which needs to be swung out of the way. A great place to stop and watch the action,or lend a hand if you're feeling generous.
