Travel Guide

The Ashby Canal at Marston Junction, Warwickshire. The Ashby Canal Company was formed in 1792 with intention of connecting the Coventry Canal at Marston Jabbett with limeworks and new coalfields near Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The canal, when it was built, did not go further than Moira, a distance of 30 miles with no locks, following the 300 foot contour line. The hilly section beyond this was not constructed, an extensive system of tramroads being preferred. At present, the canal ends at Snarestone (22 miles), the last eight miles being abandoned because of mining subsidence. However, the latest Nicholson canal guide anticipates completion of extensive restoration activity by detailing the route as far as Conkers, past Moira. Here is Dr Clifton's photograph from 1976. 462867

The Coventry Canal, Bedworth, Warwickshire The Act of Parliament enabling the construction of the Coventry Canal was passed in 1768, and construction as far as Atherstone by 1771 was followed by the company running out of money and the sacking of James Brindley. One of the purposes of the canal was to provide Coventry with a regular supply of cheap coal from the Bedworth coalfield, which it already did by 1769. The towpath here is used as part of The Centenary Way, a long distance walking path covering about 100 miles in Warwickshire.

Absolutely devastated, my room (A10) was disgusting, hair down the toilet (I think) dirty towels on the side of the sink. The living quarters stuck of dogs, I know it’s a dog friendly hotel. But it felt more like it was a human friendly one and that 10 dogs had slept in there. Every corner of rooms ...
