Boatyards, Moorings and Marinas 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.
Inland marinas and boatyards in the UK are important facilities that support boating on the country’s network of canals and rivers. They provide services such as boat moorings, repairs, maintenance, fuel, and supplies for boat owners and visitors. Many marinas are located along major waterways like the River Severn, the Trent and Mersey Canal, and the Grand Union Canal, making them convenient stopping points for people travelling by narrowboat or cruiser. Boatyards often specialise in building, repairing, or restoring boats, while marinas usually provide safe places to moor and access to facilities such as electricity, water, and showers. Today, inland marinas and boatyards also attract tourists and leisure boaters, helping to support local economies and keep the UK’s historic waterways active and well maintained.
