Sileby Mill Boatyard
We provide short breaks and holidays on our modern luxury narrowboats and day hire on specialist traditionally styled dayboats. We welcome people with disability's and offer one of our dayboats with a wheelchair lift.
Sileby Mill is situated on the beautiful and rural River Soar, part of the Grand Union Canal. From here you have a choice of routes including the 'Leicester Ring' with a surprising variety of scenery and navigation's.
Spotlessly clean boats, a warm and personal service and an idyllic location combine to give you a holiday to remember.
Sileby Mill, Mountsorrel, Loughborough, Sileby village, Steam trains
A day off the boat. The river is very high, navigation is not happening, so I have done all the unpleasant jobs on the boat - changed the fuel filter, pumped out the bilge, cleaned the raw water filter, emptied the Elsan, vacuumed, washed up... so now I have the whole day free! I take a look at Mountsorrel Lock, with its very low bridge immediately below the lock. Then it's into Loughborough to have a look at the Great Central Railway, the longest double track steam heritage railway in the UK, running at speeds of up to 45mph from Loughborough to Leicester. On the way home I do some shopping at Aldi, and we drive through Sileby to have a look at the shops that are available to boaters staying in the boatyard just 15 mins walk away.
Central Leicester to Sileby Mill on the River Soar
We leave the town centre and pass through areas of industrial decay and redevelopment, heading North on the River Soar. The two town centtre locks North of the moorings have broken paddle gear. We meet a huge group of children on various canoes and kayaks coming through the lock by the Natiional Space Centre, some of whom are desparate to get on YouTube, so I oblige, well we are in public and they are not identifiable by name, so where's the harm? Further north, the navigation becomes much more river like, with a steady current and lots of meanders. We meet some magnet fishers who have just removed an 80 Kilo safe from the lock layby, and some canoeists who demonstrate their skills doing rollovers and capsize rescue. Finally on to Sileby Mill, where we have a look around the lock and the weir.
