The basin marks the convergence point of the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal and the Market Harborough arm, situated at the base of Foxton Locks. Foxton Locks is the 'staircase' of ten canal locks. This flight of locks was built in the early 19th century to enable canal boats to navigate the steep incline. The locks are arranged in two groups of five, allowing boats to ascend or descend the hill.

Originating in medieval times, Saint Leonards Church dates back to the 13th to 15th century AD. It's a pleasant place to stop for a rest as it's tucked away off a footpath in the quaint village of Thorpe Langton. There's also a bench outside.
