Sustrans NCN Route 52 is fantastic! Try to avoid at rush hour as some drivers are a little less than courteous when overtaking

Bosworth Marina

Highlight • Structure

Bosworth Marina is a relatively recent addition to the area, with its development and opening in 2012. The site was originally a location for industrial activities, including a timber fireproofing plant that operated from 1919 to 2002. The marina now provides canal boat berths for tourism, moorings, and short-term occupation, connected to the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal.

Ashby de la Zouch Canal

Highlight • Trail

Theres an abundance of canal towpaths around this area waiting to be explored, if you like a quiet stroll as you watch the odd boat go by then this is the place for you. The beauty of tow paths is they go on forever, so as long as you have the energy, explore away.
