About

Glen ward covers the eastern edge of Market Harborough, extending into the surrounding Leicestershire countryside. The area includes the suburb of Little Bowden and is bordered by the River Welland to the south. Housing is primarily residential, featuring a mix of older terraced homes and more modern developments. The ward contains several local schools and recreational grounds, serving its community with essential amenities.

The geography is defined by the Welland's floodplain and the rolling fields beyond the town's limits. A notable local landmark is the historic railway viaduct that crosses the valley, carrying the mainline towards London. This blend of urban fringe and rural landscape characterises the area, with footpaths leading from residential streets directly into open farmland.
