ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOUCH CANAL, a canal from the neighbourhood of Moira, 3½ miles W of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to the Coventry canal, 2 miles S of Nuneaton. It was opened in 1805; is 26½ miles long, all on a level; and goes in a S by easterly direction, past Market-Bosworth and near Hinckley, but is very winding. Tram railways connect its N end with Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Ticknall, and Church-Gresley.
