Foxton Leicestershire Map

About Foxton

Foxton, a Leicestershire village, breathes the quiet dignity of the East Midlands. It lies 4.1 km north-west of Market Harborough (from Market Harborough: bearing 310°T, OS grid SP 700 900), and is situated north-north-west of Gartree village. The landscape around Foxton rolls gently, a patchwork of fields where the sun, when it breaks through, casts long, Vermeer-like shadows across the arable land. The Grand Union Canal, a ribbon of dark water, passes close by, its towpath worn smooth by the footsteps of generations, a silent artery connecting the village to a wider world. Old farmhouses, their stone walls mellowed by countless seasons, stand as sturdy witnesses to Foxton's enduring presence. A palpable sense of continuity hangs in the air, like the faint scent of damp earth after a spring shower.
