Canal Trips on the Coventry & Ashby Canals
The Coventry Canal and the Ashby Canal are connected waterways that form part of the Midlands canal network. The Ashby Canal branches off the Coventry Canal at Marston Junction, allowing boats to travel between the two routes. Both canals were built during the Industrial Revolution to transport goods such as coal and other materials from mines to nearby towns and factories. The Coventry Canal linked important industrial areas and connected with other canals, while the Ashby Canal served the coalfields of Leicestershire. Today, these canals are mainly used for leisure activities like narrowboating, fishing, and walking along the towpaths, and they remain an important part of the UK’s historic inland waterway system.
