Places to see in ( Market Harborough - UK )

Market Harborough is a market town within the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. Market Harborough is the administrative headquarters of Harborough District Council. Market Harborough sits on the Northamptonshire-Leicestershire border. Market Harborough was formerly at a crossroads for both road and rail; however the A6 now bypasses the town to the east and the A14 which carries east-west traffic is 6 miles (9.7 km) to the south. The town is served by East Midlands Trains with direct services to Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Derby and St Pancras International. Rail services to Rugby and Peterborough ended in 1966.

Market Harborough is located in an area which was formerly a part of the Rockingham Forest, a royal hunting forest used by the medieval monarchs starting with William I. Rockingham Road takes its name from the forest. The forest's original boundaries stretched from Market Harborough through to Stamford and included the settlements at Corby, Kettering, Desborough, Rothwell, Thrapston and Oundle.

The centre of the town is dominated by the steeple of St. Dionysius Parish Church which rises directly from the street, as there is no church yard. It was constructed in grey stone in 1300 with the church itself a later building of about 1470. Next to the church stands the Old Grammar School, a small timber building dating from 1614. The ground floor is open, creating a covered market area and there is a single room on the first floor. It has become a symbol of the town. The nearby square is largely pedestrianised and surrounded by buildings of varying styles. The upper end of the High Street is wide and contains mostly unspoiled Georgian buildings.

Market Harborough has two villages within its confines: Great Bowden lies over a hill about a mile from the town centre; Little Bowden is less than half a mile from the town centre. The three centres have largely coalesced through ribbon development and infill, although Great Bowden continues to retain a strong village identity.

Market Harborough is in a rural part of south Leicestershire, on the River Welland and close to the Northamptonshire border. The town is about 15 miles (24.1 km) south of Leicester via the A6, 17 miles (27.4 km) north of Northampton via the A508 and 10 miles (16.1 km) north west of Kettering. The town is near the A14 road running from the M1/M6 motorway Catthorpe Interchange to Felixstowe. The M1 is about 11 miles (17.7 km) west via the A4304 road.

Three miles north west of the town is Foxton Locks – ten canal locks consisting of two staircases each of five locks, on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal. It is named after the nearby village of Foxton where there is one of a very few remaining road swing bridges over the canal.

Market Harborough station is on the Midland Main Line and operated by East Midlands Trains. London St Pancras International is 70 minutes south. Northbound trains operate to Leicester (15 minutes), Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds and York. Leicester connections east and west. From November 2007 St Pancras has Eurostar services to the continent.

Back to my Roots - High Wycombe to Beaconsfield - Episode 100 (4K)

For the 100th episode of my Walking Vlog series I returned to the town of my birth to revisit the final walk of the Remapping High Wycombe project that I did with my sister between 2004-05. This takes us through the Desborough Hundred. This was when I started this YouTube channel and when I started using video to regularly document my walks.
The route takes us from High Wycombe town centre up through the Museum grounds and above the cemetery then out to Hughenden Manor. From here we climb to the Disraeli Monument then pass through Downley to Desborough Castle. I rest on Tom Burt's Hill before crossing the Wycombe Rye and follow the River Wye to Loudwater. From here we walk past Cut Throat Wood and along the Chiltern Way to Beaconsfield.

I adopted my child. Can I still apply for a minor's UK passport?

I adopted my child. Can I still apply for a minor's passport?

• If you adopted your child in the UK and you were a British Citizen at the time (or someone otherwise settled in the UK) then your child is a British Citizen and entitled to a passport. You need to prove you were a British Citizen (or settled) when you apply for the passport (with a long-form birth certificate for example).
• If you adopted your child outside of the UK you need to have registered the adoption at a British Embassy, High Commission or Consulate. You will need to provide the adoption certificate with the passport application.
• If you are not a British Citizen but you adopted a British Citizen outside of the UK you will just have to prove that your child was born in the UK to a British Citizen or settled person.
