Snarestone.

Seven years after we first cruised the Ashby canal we have finally reached navigation end.





Moored Snarestone




Old pump house now a residence








This bridge was built in 2016 to replace Faulks Bridge, latest building legislation meant this farm access bridge can carry more weight than the decorative old sign that adorns it suggests.

Engine beams salvaged from the pump house.




Varnham's Bridge.






Snarestone Tunnel portal.




The tunnel runs under this playing field
