		The Soar Valley in Leicestershire, England is the basin of the River Soar, which rises south of Leicester and flows north through Charnwood before meeting the River Trent at Trent Lock on the Nottinghamshire Border.
		The river frequently merges and splits with the Grand Union Canal, and indeed the village of Barrow upon Soar is known for its canal heritage.
		The river is joined near Rothley by the River Wreake and Rothley Brook.

	Observer \| Week three: through the heart of England
		As long ago as the 1630s one Thomas Skipworth tried but failed to make the Soar navigable as far as Leicester, and it wasn't until 1778 that the River Soar Navigation was opened as far as Loughborough, and 1794 that it reached Leicester.
		Despite still being a river, the Soar Navigation is pretty boater friendly, unlike scary feature number two - the River Trent, which is classified as first and foremost a commercial waterway with small oil tankers and other coastal freighters making their way up as far as Nottingham from the Humber estuary and beyond.
		The Soar meets the Trent at Thrumpton Wier; on the far side is the start of the Erewash Canal that cuts deep into D.H. Lawrence country but since he is now so inexplicably out of favour my journey turns north-east through Nottingham and onwards via Newark on Trent and seven manned locks to Cromwell.
