The Leicester Ring Canal Holiday

1 - 2 week route

Leicester Ring Canal Holiday

A varied route down the North Oxford, up the Grand Union to the River Soar and the Trent & Mersey, then back down the Coventry Canal. The cruise includes 5 tunnels, several aqueducts, 100 locks (including Foxton) and Shardlow canal village.

The timing allows a leisurely fortnight canal holiday, or gives you time to explore other canals on the way (e.g. the Ashby). An extra 38 hours would enable you to include the Warwickshire Ring through Birmingham.

This canal holiday route takes 2 weeks.
