Foxton Locks
Foxton Locks is a series of ten consecutive locks located on the Grand Union Canal in Leicestershire, England. This unique flight of locks raises boats a total of 75 feet over a distance of about 200 meters, making it one of the most famous lock systems in the country. The locks were built in the early 19th century and are a popular spot for boating enthusiasts and visitors.
The site also features a visitor center and a café, providing information about the history and operation of the locks. Nearby, the Foxton Inclined Plane is a historic boat lift that was once used to transport boats between different levels of the canal. Today, Foxton Locks is a picturesque destination for walking, cycling, and enjoying the scenic waterways.
