Places to see in ( Market Harborough - UK )
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.

Paris: The Bassin de l'Arsenal / Port de Plaisance de Paris-Arsanal
The Bassin de l'Arsenal (also known as the Port de l'Arsenal) is a boat basin in Paris. It links the Canal Saint-Martin, which begins at the Place de la Bastille, to the Seine, at the Quai de la Rapée. As a component of the Réseau des Canaux Parisiens (Parisian Canal Network), it forms part of the borderline between the 12th and the 4th arrondissement of Paris.
From the 16th until the 19th century, an arsenal existed at this location. The arsenal accounts for the name of the basin and the name of the neighborhood, Arsenal, in which the basin lies.
After the widespread destruction during the French revolution, the Bassin de l'Arsenal was excavated, to replace the ditch that had been in place, to draw water from the Seine to fill the moat at the then existing Bastille fortress.
.
During the 19th and most of the 20th century, the Bassin de l'Arsenal was a commercial port, where goods were loaded and unloaded. Separated from the Seine by the Morland lockgate, the port was converted into a leisure port in 1983 by a decision of the Mairie de Paris (Paris City Hall) and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Now it is run by the Association for the Leisure Port of Paris-Arsenal. The basin is part of France's national Voies Navigables de France (VNF, Navigable Waterways of France) system.
Since that time, it has been a marina (in French, a port de plaisance), for approximately 180 pleasure boats.
MARLOW ENGLAND
From WHEELCHAIR NOMAD DIARY...2003 EE england Richard and Jonathon took turns pushing the wheelchair to a bridge over the locks and I took photographs of the canal boats and the million dollar flats overlooking the locks. We then walked along the Thames River to Marlow Parish Church overlooking the River. Jonathon and I walked along the river, admiring the private house boats. Perhaps youll rent one and spend a few months exploring English rivers and canals, I suggested. Id love too once I retire, but it would take years to explore the complex canal systems. They go everywhere, Jon replied. We rejoined Andrea and her mum and entered the Hogs Head, a large Marlow Pub, where Richard drank a pint of Speckled Hen while I drank a warm pint of Hook Norton. Andreas mum drank a large glass of white wine. She normally enjoys sherry with her friends at lunch, Andrea commented. My pub meal was amazingly good, a spicy hot chilli with rice and large sized chips to moderate the heat. We dropped down the street window shopping, to the Coffee Republic for a coffee. The coffee shop was full. Marlow is an upper-class town, Andrea told us. The cars are expensive, recent models, such as that Boxler over there, the women all expensively dressed and groomed, and they look as if their only occupation is shopping. The stores are up-market, and expensive here.«
