From Shackerstone to Battlefield Site Boswell, and on to Burton Hastings, Ashby Canal
We have boated back down the Ashby to a point on the canal adjacent to the Bosworth Country Park where the battle of the roses took place (although this is being rethought), and the field where Richard III was slain in 1485 by Henry Tudor, ie Henry VII. A very pleasant place to amble round,and it has struck us just how polite, respectful and courteous everyone is here. A lot of folk enjoying the area without noise, littering or forgetting their doggy bags! A place so pleasant we stayed overnight, and moved off early next morning with a cloudless blue sky and brilliant sunshine.
It is no problem to stay on the Ashby Canal, it is such a pretty canal to be savoured and not hurried. No wonder so many boaters choose this canal to moor on. The perfect boating weather has brought out people galore, all shapes and sizes! We managed to find a secluded mooring, and to take cover from the rays.
