A hidden gem in Leicestershire
Foxton Locks的点评
点评：First of all the Parking, park at the Long Stay (Top Parking) and it’s £3 cash, maybe it is payment by app also but I didn’t see any signs for that option. I agree the machine screens are weathered like mentioned in another comment and if you’re tall difficult to read without crouching down. Also nice to see a police car in the car park with officers watching the area when arriving. Park here in my opinion to get the full feel of the locks.
Park at the Short stay down the bottom of the locks near the pub and it’s £3.50, this has the option for contactless and much newer machines undercover. You will only see the bottom of the locks and boat waiting area/pub/cafe without walking up then hill.
It’s been many years since my last visit and the paths from the top car park are much improved and now tarmaced - not the mud as before. It was quiet this Sunday afternoon and a pleasant walk down. Had a tea and coffee in the Bar 61 I think it was called next to the canal boat shop and came to £3.95 which isn’t that bad - in a real mug too! The open fire in there was amazing as the sun went down but only a tiny room and looks like when you get one of the two tables you massage the empty cup as long as possible to stay in full conversation.
Bear in mind the last boat entrance to the Locks is 14:45 in Winter so arrive after and you won’t see them in action.
On the whole a pleasant day out, some lovely boats there, the smell of wood fires and sunshine made a pleasant afternoon. Some things are looking dated such as information boards but this is a working Lock and open to the elements. It’s a hidden gem in Leicestershire. Dog friendly and some lovely ones to admire and fuss walking around.
Also a very clean and tidy area with no litter to kudos to those visiting and working there. Shame about the fly tipping and McDonald’s chucked out of cars in the road on the way in!

翻译：首先是停车，将车停在长期停车位（顶层停车场），现金支付 3 英镑，也许也可以通过应用程序付款，但我没有看到任何标志。我同意机器屏幕像另一条评论中提到的那样已经风化，如果你很高，不蹲下就很难看清。看到停车场里有一辆警车，警察到达时在监视该地区，也很高兴。在我看来，把车停在这里可以充分感受船闸的感觉。
将车停在船闸底部靠近酒吧的短期停车位，费用为 3.50 英镑，这里可以选择非接触式和更新的机器。您只会看到船闸的底部和船等候区/酒吧/咖啡馆，而不必走上山。
距离我上次来已经过去很多年了，从顶层停车场出发的道路已经改善了很多，现在铺上了柏油路，不再像以前那样泥泞。这个星期天下午很安静，走下来很愉快。在 Bar 61 喝了一杯茶和咖啡，我记得它的名字叫 Bar 61，就在运河船店旁边，花了 3.95 英镑，还不错——而且还是装在真正的杯子里！太阳下山时，里面的明火很神奇，但房间很小，看起来当你坐在两张桌子中的一张时，你会尽可能长时间地按摩空杯子，以保持充分的交谈。
请记住，冬季船闸的最后入闸时间是 14:45，所以如果过了这个时间，你就看不到船闸了。
总的来说，这是一个愉快的一天，那里有一些可爱的船，柴火的味道和阳光，让人度过了一个愉快的下午。有些东西看起来有些过时，比如信息板，但这是一个正在使用的船闸，而且是开放的。这是莱斯特郡的一颗隐藏的宝石。可以带狗，还有一些可爱的狗可以欣赏和四处走动。
还有一个非常干净整洁的区域，没有垃圾，值得称赞的是那些在那里参观和工作的人。令人羞耻的是，人们在路上随意倾倒垃圾，并从汽车里扔出麦当劳！
