Coventry Canal
Once bustling with narrowboats carrying coal, this surprising rural canal now passes quietly by spoil heaps that are today swathed in greenery.
Rural throughout much of its length, the Coventry Canal runs for 38 miles linking Coventry with the Trent & Mersey Canal.
Coventry's most famous landmark is its cathedral - a stunning modern building standing next to the shell of the original cathedral, bombed in World War II. This is just a short walk from the attractive terminus basin, which is now lined with shops and bars. Informative signs and artworks adorn the towpath between Hawkesbury Junction and the city, and the line has undergone much general improvement.
