A lovely place away fromt he hussle and bussle of the city life. I enjoy coming here to visit the little shops there are so many little gift shops and great little places where you can pick up different presents. I also love that Harborough has a woolworths as leicesters has closed down now. There are a numbe rof pubs to go which are all lovely and easy to reach and even its own night club which i havent tried yet! Harborough has its own train platform so you can easily reach places such as london or leicester (which is a 15min train ride away)

Market Harborough is a lovely little market town with plenty of small boutiques and shops tucked away. There are also lots of lovely restaurants which I am currently working my way around trying!! Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Tapas, Pub Grub and contempory british food are some of the few varieties of restaurant available here. The location of Market Harborough is perfect for getting to lots of larger cities including Leicester which is only a 15 minute train ride away and London which is an hour away on a direct train. Northampton, Milton Keynes and Peterborough are all also easy to access from harborough.
There is an Aldi, Sainsburys, Marks and Spencers food, Tesco metro and a Lidl in Market Harborough. There are also 3 gyms, one being a leisure centre that has a pool, gym, health suite and does weekly classes.
Market Harborough is ideal if you like to live away from the city but want easy access to all the shopping and facilities a city has.
The main street is really pretty, lots of old buildings and places to sit out and have coffee when the weathers nice, a good number of pubs and it even boasts its one and only club, Enigma!
I have really enjoyed living here so far and would highly recommend it.

Market Harborough is a small town with lots to offer, its very old fashioned town but it is also beautiful, I have been to a museum in Harborough which i found boaring but my eldest daughter really enjoyed it, Market harborough has a holiday type log cabins you can stay in that also offer bed and breakfast it is called waterloo farm and it has some beautiful settings which will take your breeath away, During the summer they also host a maze which is massive and even my husband liked it, The markets and shops are intresting with a bit of everything, There is a theatre but i have to say ive never been there , The train station is based in the middle of the town and in easy access to most places, There are a very quite little villages going into harborough which are for the older person that likes the quite, Little and great bowden are for those kind of people. There are a few good pubs that also sell food during the day and the swan hotel is the place to stay overnight.
