Market Harborough
Union Wharf marina is at the end of the Market Harborough arm. This is a peaceful stretch of the Grand Union canal which meanders through the rural Leicestershire landscape.
The iconic Foxton Locks are a less than half a day’s cruise away. A holiday from Union Wharf can also take you to Braunston, Watford Locks or even the city of Leicester.
New to narrowboating?
No experience or a licence is necessary to take out a narrowboat and we provide all the training you need.
Many of our hirers have never set foot on a canal boat before their holiday or day trip so you are in good company. Although we offer a comprehensive handover for all our guests, we are happy to do a bit of extra ‘hand-holding’ for novices who come aboard.
