Ashby Canal near Bramcote in Warwickshire Looking north-east as the canal meanders towards Hinckley. The woodland on the Bramcote Hill ahead is by the B4114 Lutterworth Road 

After several years of construction the canal was fully opened by 1804. The section north of Snarestone was closed in 1966, leaving 22 viable miles to restore and maintain. It is now a very popular waterway for lock-free rural cruising.
