We woke a little late his morning, but to another sunny spring morning, we topped up our water at the British waterways yard before the canal cut through the town of Nuneaton here the canal turns unfortunately a little untidy with lots of rubbish strewn on the banks and rubbish including bottles and cans in the waterway.
Houses with long gardens join the canal and we haven't seen some many allotments in a small area as here, where the owners are busy digging and tending to there vegetables.
Once through Nuneaton we pass the suburb of Chilvers Coton where it's church was built by German prisoners of War in 1946.We then take a left turn onto the Ashby Canal the longest contour canal in England which has a 22 miles of navigable water with not one lock on it, so Denise is well pleased.
The junction for the Ashby is called the Marston Junction, and the Ashby Canal Association had a lot to do with how it is today.The industrial feel which the Coventry had disappears fast with green fields, farms and trees.We pass Burton Hasting a quiet village set on a hill and moor up out side of The Limekilns pub.
