Market Harborough Arm (Grand Union Canal)

The Market Harborough Arm is one of the two arms of the Leicester Line.

The Grand Union Canal is made up of several stretches of waterway. Market Harborough Arm is one of these and branches off the Leicester Line.

It is lock free for its entire length of just under six miles, from Foxton to Market Harborough. The canal follows the hillsides, providing views of the east Leicestershire countryside, in our East Midlands region.
