Market Harborough is known as one of the ‘jewels of the East Midlands’. Its ties to medieval monarchs through the ages means there’s an abundance of things to do in Market Harborough. Rockingham Castle, for example, with impressive Victorian rooms and beautiful gardens. There’s St Dionysius’ Church, built in the 13th Century. The timber-framed Old Grammar School built in 1614. The town simply oozes historical curiosities. At Foxton Locks, enjoy scenic strolls and canal-side pubs – part of the Grand Union Canal. Got kids with you? Welland Park and Harborough Museum are top destinations for family days out in Market Harborough.
