360° VR panorama of blossoming trees in Spring along the southern side of Welland Park in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, England. Welland Park was created as part of development in the 1930s when Welland Park Road, which runs along the south side of the park, was built to provide improved housing.
The park is popular with both visitors and town residents, with tennis courts, children’s playground, and bowling green located in the park. The river Welland runs through the park, from which the park gets its name. Welland Park is also renowned for its beautiful and well laid out flowerbeds and rose garden.

360° VR panorama of the Old Grammar School and St. Dionysius Church in Market Harborough town centre. Market Harborough is a market town in Leicestershire, England, bordering Northamptonshire to the south.
The Old Grammar School was built on stilts, allowing the butter market to be held below the school. The distinctive building was built by Robert Smyth in 1614, and has since become an icon for the town and Harborough district.
The building was used as a school until 1892. It was restored in 1869 when the brick staircase was added to the rear, and pargeting in the plasterwork and false half-timbering were added. The school has bible verses chosen by Robert Smyth painted on the lower beams of the building.
St. Dionysius Church is the parish church of Market Harborough, and was originally built in 1300, with the majority of the current building dating from around 1470. The church spire rises to 47m, with the oldest part of the tower being the west doorway, which dates from around 1300.
The church does not have a graveyard, but rises directly from the street. This is because Market Harborough was originally a township of the nearby village of Great Bowden, where the dependent chapelry of St. Marys of Arden already existed. So burials for Market Harborough would still be carried out at St. Marys of Arden, meaning St. Dionysius Church did not need a graveyard.

360° VR panorama of the River Jordan and Scotland Road, in Little Bowden, Leicestershire, England.
The Jordan starts to the south-west of Braybrooke village in Northamptonshire, and then flows north-west through the countryside, and on into Little Bowden in Leicestershire. It then joins the River Welland near Market Harborough Train Station, a total course of around 3-4 miles.
Little Bowden used to be part of Northamptonshire (being south of the River Welland, which has traditionally served as the boundary between Leicestershire and Northamptonshire), but was transferred to Leicestershire in the late 19th century.
