Congerstone Canal Bridge

Highlight • River

Sustrans NCN Route 52 is fantastic! Try to avoid at rush hour as some drivers are a little less than courteous when overtaking

The tranquil Ashby Canal is so level it's famous for having no locks at all. Perfect if you are in in search of a gentle and pretty route.

The canal never reached the town of Ashby that it is named after. Instead it winds peacefully through the countryside for almost the entire 22-mile length.

Market Bosworth War Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

Market Bosworth is famously near to the site of the decisive final battle of the Wars of the Roses.

The Battle of Bosworth occurred just south of the town in 1485, marking the conclusive and significant clash in the Wars of the Roses between the House of Lancaster and the House of York. This historic engagement ultimately led to the demise of King Richard III.

The town is also known for its beautiful flower displays in the Leicestershire in Bloom competition.
