Coventry Canal Boat Covers

The Coventry Canal runs 38 miles from Coventry Basin in the city centre through Warwickshire and into Staffordshire, meeting the Trent & Mersey Canal at Fradley Junction. Opened between 1769 and 1790, the canal's construction was fraught with financial difficulties, but it ultimately became a vital artery for the coal trade feeding the industries of Coventry and the wider Midlands. The famous Hawkesbury Junction — locally known as Sutton Stop — where the Coventry Canal meets the Oxford Canal, is one of the most historic and picturesque canal junctions in England, complete with an old engine house and a welcoming pub. The Atherstone Flight of 11 locks provides the main change in level, while the beautiful rural sections north of Nuneaton offer some of the most peaceful cruising in the Midlands. The canal passes through a mix of urban and rural environments, meaning boat covers must cope with everything from urban grime to long periods of weather exposure.
