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.

10 Most Hated Towns in England
What are the most hated towns in England? No matter how good a country is, every part of it can’t be loved equally. In fact, some parts of it are bound to be hated. Even the most fanatic lover of a country will love some parts of it less than others. I have heard some people complaining about some towns in England, the home of the Queen that some people are dying to live and work in. That prompts research into the 10 most hated towns in England.
This ranking is based mainly on the comments and complaints of residents of England and visitors to those towns. But it’s not limited to that since some complaints can be completely baseless. We dig deeper in researching these 10 most hated towns in England.
10. Slough
Let’s begin with Slough, a town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This town is 20 miles west of central London and 19 miles northeast of Reading. You will find the town in the Thames Valley and within the London metropolis around the area at the intersection of the M4.
In spite of its location, Slough according to those visitors, is a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets or empty beer cans. This assertion hasn’t been contradicted by even just one resident. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can get away with.
9. Scunthorpe
It’s not desirable to find Scunthorpe among the most hated towns in England. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to take it out of our list because the facts obviously place it there. This industrial town in the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire should normally be the pride of Lincolnshire as its main administrative center. But the town with an estimated population of 82,334 in 2016 had many things going against it.
Residents of the UK’s largest steel processing center, also known as the Industrial Garden Town, are frustrated by a lack of the liveliness and diversity in the town only known for work. However, the loudest grouse that lists Scunthorpe alongside the most hated towns in England is the indiscriminate censorship and blocking of websites for spurious reasons.

The Beautiful Market Towns of Herefordshire
Steeped in tradition, #Herefordshire is one of Britain’s most rural, most interesting, yet most undiscovered counties; that’s a large part of its charm.
Famous as the home of the world renowned Hereford cattle and beef, for producing well over half of the UK’s cider, for the residence of the Hereford Magna Carta and Mappa Mundi at Hereford Cathedral, there is not only culture and heritage here, but the stunning River Wye and Wye Valley with its walking, canoeing, fishing and cycle routes. The Malvern Hills, Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains lend their incredible views for walking, as does Herefordshire’s spectacular countryside.
Herefordshire’s picturesque and historic towns such as Ledbury, Kington and Ross-on-Wye bustle with markets, independent shops, not to mention the year round festivals, shows and events.

Market Harborough Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Leicestershire, and around 15 miles southeast of Leicester, is the town of Market Harborough.
Geographically Market Harborough lies at the southern border of Leicestershire, just opposite Northamptonshire. The River Welland runs through the town just five miles from its source. Market Harborough was originally a Saxon settlement called 'hæfera-beorg', meaning 'oat hill'.
A weekly market started in 1204 leading to relative prosperity in the town. During the same century construction began on what is now St Dionysius' Church in the centre of town. In 1614 the Old Grammar School was built. This very distinct timber-framed building stands on wooden stilts. This was so that it would double up as a buttercross at ground level, i.e. an outdoor market for dairy and eggs, while the school functioned on the first floor. Today the Old Grammar School functions as a museum, in addition to being somewhat of an emblem of Market Harborough itself.
During the English Civil War Market Harborough became the headquarters of King Charles I's army. After they Royalists laid siege to Leicester in 1645 with the aid of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, they marched south, looking to send supplies to their own besieged headquarters in Oxford. They set up camp in Market Harborough before clashing with the Parliamentarians in the nearby village of Naseby. The ensuing Battle of Naseby ended in victory for Parliament, who would go on to retake Leicester just days later in what proved to be a decisive blow to the Royalists.
In the 18th century Market Harborough enjoyed quiet prosperity as a cloth weaving town as well as a resting post for stagecoaches en route to Leicester. In the following century it received its first rail connection in 1850 with a link to Rugby in Warwickshire, followed by links to Leicester and London in 1857.

The Market Town of Market Harborough in Leicestershire - along the Civil War Trail
Market Harborough is a lovely town about 10 miles from where I live in Northamptonshire. I worked for about 4 years in The Sugar Loaf pub, the building has lots of history and was originally a grocery shop which weighed out provisions and cut sugar by hand from a conical shaped sugar loaf. Its a nice town for shopping and sightseeing. It also has a few outlet stores and is the house of Joules.
