So today we started motoring back down the Ashby Canal to Marston junction. But first a walk to the Battlefield site where Henry Tudor defeated King Richard 111, it looked so peaceful today but with over 1000 killed was a pivotal point in English history. 

We’ve greatly enjoyed our time up this rural canal, but tomorrow towns and the first big flight of locks to negotiate,luckily they are going down at the moment.

A proper working boat, note the tiny cabin a family was expected to live in, compared to the cargo space.
