Harborough

Harborough district covers an area of 238 square miles in the rural south and east of Leicestershire. 

The population in 2016 was estimated at 90,300.

The district has a very attractive rural environment and a rich cultural heritage, with a growing tourism sector visiting attractions such as Foxton Locks and Market Harborough itself.
