Market Harborough combines a compact market-town centre with open Welland Valley countryside in a way that reflects its position on the River Welland in south-eastern Leicestershire. The old market place is marked by the Old Grammar School, a 1614 building raised on timber stilts above the street. Market trading has long shaped the town’s identity, and independent shops, cafés and the Harborough Museum keep its centre active. Beyond the town, the Grand Union Canal’s Leicester Line and nearby Foxton Locks add an important thread of transport heritage to the surrounding landscape.
