Ashby Canal Boat Covers

The Ashby Canal is unique among English canals for having no locks whatsoever along its entire navigable 22-mile length, making it particularly popular with narrowboaters seeking a relaxed cruise through the heart of the English Midlands. Running from Marston Junction on the Coventry Canal to Snarestone in Leicestershire, it passes through a peaceful rural landscape with market towns like Hinckley and Stoke Golding, a village celebrated for its connection to the Battle of Bosworth Field. The historic Moira Furnace, a scheduled ancient monument, marks the original terminus and is worth exploring. As a level contour canal, the Ashby is an excellent choice for first-time boaters, while its tranquil character also appeals to experienced narrowboat owners. Because boats often stay moored for extended periods on the Ashby's quiet rural stretches, high-quality covers are vital to protect against UV degradation, rain, and winter frost. UK Boat Covers hand-crafts marine-grade canopies and tonneau covers tailored for the narrowboats that frequent this lovely waterway. No VAT charged.
