Take the first right (Black Horse Road) and follow the road (over two roundabouts) until you cross the canal bridge. Turn left into Sutton Stop and continue to the end where there is a car park on the left.

General
Description - Head towards Bedworth (Beduff for the locals) through the stop lock with the engine house on the left. The canal is quite picturesque along this stretch. Approaching Beduff the canal passes the attractive back gardens of the canalside houses. In the sunshine it was a real pleasure to be paddling by.
In a little less than an hour, we reached Charity dock, which looked like a graveyard for Barges! Just round the corner from the boat yard is Marston Junction, a distance of 2.75 from the start, achieved in about 55 mins.
We turned back at this point but if you want to go further I suggest turning right onto the Ashby Canal.
