Paddling near Coventry, England

Coventry sits in the West Midlands, landlocked but well connected to a network of canals and rivers. The Coventry Canal — 38 miles long and running through the city centre to Hawkesbury Junction — is the marquee local paddle route, linking to the Oxford Canal and the Trent and Mersey Canal. The River Avon and River Leam are among the closest natural waterways beyond the canal network.
