The Grand Union Canal which passes by the Foxton Locks a pub and cafe. Foxton is great for a walk and to watch the narrow boats navigate the locks

One of the true landmarks of the UK’s inland waterways, Foxton locks has the largest flight of staircase locks on the English canal system.

The remains of the inclined plane, a magnificent, if slightly weird, piece of Victorian engineering uses two counterbalancing tanks, each of which would take a barge or two narrowboats. The Canal Museum at the Boilerhouse brings to life what is was like to live and breathe the canals in the 19th Century and there's also the Foxton Discovery virtual reality app allowing you to see the boat lift magically in front of your very eyes.
