This walkthrough looks at what might be the most beloved area to locals of Market Harborough: Welland Park.
Taking its name from the River Welland that passes through the town, the park has its own tennis courts, playground and even a skateboard park! Over the past few years, the river has seen wildlife, including otters and kingfishers, return. Whether you visit it alone, with a friend or with your family, the charm of the park will certainly reach you.
This walkthrough explores the fields between Ridgeway road and the small village of Great Bowden
The village is home to a large, 13th century church, beautiful cottages and a historic forge that closed just before WWII.
The clusters of homes, with examples of 17th century farmer's houses and 19th century architecture are a prominent feature of Great Bowden, a wonderful illustration of its history and of its passing through time.
This walkthrough touches briefly on the Old Grammar School, built in 1614 by Robert Smyth.
The town centre holds many historic buildings including the Symington Building, an old Victorian corset factory now home to the District Council's offices and the Library and Museum. From the 800 year old indoor market to a zero-waste EcoVillage,the town is sure to inspire you of its culture, heritage and growth.
