Nearby is the famous Foxton Locks Inclined Plane on the Grand Union Canal. The arm from the foot of the Locks terminates in Market Harborough basin. The entire nationwide canal system is accessible from here. The area is well known for schooling within Market Harborough and preparatory schooling available at Great Glen, Maidwell, Spratton and senior at Uppingham, Oakham, Oundle, Leicester and Rugby.
Communications are excellent, with the A6 trunk road nearby, connecting Leicester and Market Harborough. The A47 trunk road to the north connects the cities of Leicester and Peterborough and the M1 is accessible immediately to the west of Leicester via Junction 21 through to Junction 22.
