The Leicester Ring – Interactive Map

The Leicester Ring is a popular Canal and River ring that takes in the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal, Coventry Canal, Grand Union Canal Leicester Line, Oxford Cana,l River Soar, River Trent and the Trent & Mersey Canal

It takes about 10-14 days, dependant on your pace, and travel 153 miles and go through 91 locks on both the Canals and Rivers.

If you are planning on doing the Leicester Ring our map shows all the place in our database on the ring, we are always updating this, So if you want to find a Mooring, Pub and Restaurants as well as location you can purchase Diesel or get a Pump out or fill with Water.

To check for scheduled closures and other problems, it is best to visit the CRT Notices and stoppages page

If you have completed the Leicester Ring, how about a decorative map for you wall. We love the maps designed by Jo on NB Perseverance, take a look at their Tube-style illustration of the Leicester Cruising Ring.
