IWA National Trailboat Festival at Moira in 2009! (see MOIRA FESTIVAL tab) ACT Scratch Cards! Win £1000, help the canal restoration. (See NEWS) |
The Ashby Canal was completed in 1804. Running from Bedworth, on the Coventry Canal to Moira, near Ashby de la Zouch, it suffered from mining subsidence during the first half of the 20th century, and was progressively closed to the current terminus at Snarestone in 1966. The Ashby Canal Trust was formed to promote the restoration of the Ashby Canal from Snarestone to Moira, bringing together the various authorities and organizations with an interest in the canal. Work Starts at Snarestone! See NEWS for information IWA Trailboat Festival 24,25 May 2009, at Moira
