Loughborough Canal Walk - British Canals VIDEO TOUR (Leicestershire, UK)
Doing the Loughborough Canal Walk!
A waterside walk from Loughborough to Leicester along a section of the Grand Union Canal and the River Soar. It's about a 13 mile route, so it's possible to do in a day. At the end of the walk you can get the train directly back to Loughborough from Leicester.
The walk starts on the canal just to the east of the train station. You can access the towpath from Moor Lane Bridge and then follow it south east towards the village of Barrow Upon Soar.
The route continues through the lovely Soar Valley to Mountsorrel and Syston, where you pass through Watermead Country Park. It's a real highlight on the route with 12 lakes, wildflower meadows, woodland, grassland and reedbeds. Look out for a whole host of wildlife on this section of the walk.
The final section takes you through Birstall and Belgrave, before finishing at Abbey Park in Leicester. It's a lovely finish to the walk with the attractive park including formal gardens, a sensory garden, a boating lake, a model boat lake, a miniature railway and pretty bridge over the River Soar.

058 - From the Erewash to the River Trent to the River Soar on our Narrowboat
In this vlog we leave the quiet Erewash Canal and cross the River Trent to get to The River Soar and the Grand Union Canal. Past the impressive Ratcliffe Power Station which dominates the landscape.
The River Soar has been in and out of flood this last month but we got lucky on our dates and had low water levels as we passed though the flood locks and river sections. It was a beautiful ride down through Kegworth and into Loughborough.

FloodsNov2012 007
26th November 2012 Flooding at Pilling's Flood Lock following huge amount of rain over the previous days. Video shot at approx 7.00am. Pilling's Lock Manager - Paul - took CRT staff to the lock in our Day-Hire boat Kittywake. The flooding has been caused by the river being so high that water has run into the surrounding fields which have in-turn started to empty into the canal.
Communication Group Boat Trip Scooby Doo
KS 2 pupils from Ash Field Academy in Leicester experience travelling on The Symphony ‘Pirate’ canal boat from Loughborough to Barrow upon Soar.
The pupils were looking, listening and anticipating communication through music and songs as they travelled down the river on a canal boat. The visit bought to life the role play experiences from the classroom. Through music and songs the pupils continued to interact using low tech equipment, whilst enjoying and learning about the environment.
