Pictures of the Coventry Canal

Frazeley to Fradley.

The Coventry canal, one of the earliest canals to be built in the UK, runs from the heart of the city of Coventry to join the Trent and Mersey canal at Fradley junction. Near Coventry it has a a junction with the Oxford canal, thus providing part of one of the first routes from Manchester and Birmingham to London via Oxford and the River Thames. Later both the Ashby and the Birmingham and Fazeley canal were join to it creating a number of alternative routes.

The finally section of eleven miles from Frazeley junction with the Birmingham and Fazeley canal and Fradley junction with the Trent and Mersey canal take the Coventry canal through open fields with just a couple of villages to add interest to the peace and quiet of this section. This page contains some pictures of this section.
