File:The Coventry Canal, Bedworth, Warwickshire - Geograph.org.uk - 1128127.jpg
The Act of Parliament enabling the construction of the Coventry Canal was passed in 1768, and construction as far as Atherstone by 1771 was followed by the company running out of money and the sacking of James Brindley. One of the purposes of the canal was to provide Coventry with a regular supply of cheap coal from the Bedworth coalfield, which it already did by 1769.

The towpath here is used as part of The Centenary Way, a long distance walking path covering about 100 miles in Warwickshire.
