“Stoke Golding and the Ashby Canal.” This is a 3¼ mile circular walk with 5 stiles along footpaths, pavements, and the towpath. There is a gentle climb from the canal up to the village at the end of the walk.

After walking through the village (where there is a memorial to the Battle of Bosworth), we first head south, and then west across pastureland to join the canal at Basin Bridge. We follow the towpath past the Ashby Boat Company and Ashby Marina before leaving the canal by bridge 27, from where we walk uphill back to our starting point.

Meet 10:30 for a 10:45 start on Thursday 6th November 2025 at The George & Dragon, Station Road, Stoke Golding, Leicestershire CV13 6EZ

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
