Outstanding meals -lunch there.
Go for a lovely pre lunch detour walking up the Yew Tree Avenue, up a drive to an old hall, free, rather in need of TLC to recover the extravagant clipped shapes.

Authentic Gujarati cuisine has been served here since 1976. The extensive vegetarian menu in the cheerful dining room covers everything from kachori (spicy lentil balls wrapped in pastry) to a generous thali. Save room for dessert because the restaurant is as well known for its sweet offerings as for its savoury, with an Indian afternoon tea combining scones and jam with pani puri and khandvi (spiced gram flour and yoghurt batter rolls). Check out the colourful selection of Diwali-style treats in the restaurant’s sweetshop all year round.

There are flights of locks all over our network – but not like Foxton. It's home to two amazing feats of engineering in the heart of Leicestershire, on the Grand Union Canal. As well as the longest and steepest staircase locks in the UK, the site is home to the remains of the inclined plane, a magnificent, if slightly weird, piece of Victorian engineering.
But that's not the only reason over 4,000 boats pass through Foxton Locks each year, making it one of the most visited places to visit on our network.
You could watch boats travel up or down the locks or take a boat trip yourself before relaxing at the pubs and picnic spots. But we'd recommend you see the remains of the historic 'chair l
