Environment

At Harborough District Council, we are dedicated to protecting our Environment for now and future generations to come. Harborough is defined by five distinct landscape character areas: the rolling hills and steep slopes of the Laughton Hills, the open, gently rolling Lutterworth Lowlands, the flat, serene Welland Valley, the steep valleys and woodland of High Leicestershire, and the wide, open Upper Soar. Key waterways, including the Rivers Welland, Avon, and the Leicester Line of the Grand Union Canal, further enhance the district's natural and cultural heritage.
