Welcome to Coventry Canal

Coventry Canal is a beautiful waterway that runs through Warwickshire, England. It was built in the late 18th century to transport coal and other goods from Coventry to the rest of the country. The canal is 38 miles long and has 13 locks, making it a popular destination for boaters and walkers alike.

One of the most notable features of the Coventry Canal is the Hatton Flight, a series of 21 locks that raise the canal 45 meters over a distance of just over two miles. This impressive feat of engineering is a popular spot for visitors to watch boats navigate the locks. The canal also passes through several picturesque villages, including Long Itchington and Braunston, where visitors can stop for a bite to eat or a drink at one of the many pubs along the way.

In recent years, the Coventry Canal has undergone significant restoration work, including the rebuilding of several locks and the installation of new moorings and facilities for boaters. This has helped to ensure that the canal remains a popular destination for visitors to Warwickshire, and a vital part of the region's heritage. Whether you're looking to take a leisurely stroll along the towpath or explore the canal by boat, the Coventry Canal is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Warwickshire.
