The Welland Valley
- idyllic British Countryside
Plenty of beautiful sights to see
The Welland Valley area is well defined in terms of topography and location. The character area follows the wide shallow valley of the River Welland, which flows from west to east through Market Harborough, with the River Welland itself forming a boundary between Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.
There are plenty of beautiful sights to see in the Welland Valley and the surrounding areas, the essence of British countryside, including several mansions and stately homes just a short drive away, and a host of museums and local towns and villages to explore. Market Harborough is just 5 miles away with Main line intercity station to St Pancras.
