Foxton Canal Museum

Foxton Canal Museum, run by theFoxton Inclined Plane Trust, is a fully accredited museum that occupies the boiler house of the Victorian Boat Lift at Foxton Locks. A great way to discover the story of the Locks, Lift, and associated waterways, especially as accompanied children can visit the museum free of charge! A super-secret schooling trip if you've a mind to make it that way!

Foxton Lock is the largest flight of staircase locks on the English canal system, with 10 narrow locks in all, forming 2 ‘staircases' of 5 locks along the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal, 5km west of Market Harborough.
