Ashby Canal Trust

The Ashby Canal Trust is a waterway society based at Measham, Swadlincote, Leicestershire, England, UK, and concerned with the restoration of a part of the Ashby Canal, also known as the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal.
The restoration project is funded by:

Leicestershire County Council
Ashby Canal Association
Ashby Canal Trust and Ashby Canal Trust Supporters
Community Foundation
East Midlands Development Agency
Inland Waterways Association
Measham Development Trust
National Forest Company

Since 2009, the Inland Waterways Association has held an annual National Trailboat Festival on the restored length of the Ashby Canal at Moira, at the most northern end of the canal in Leicestershire. The IWA allocated the Festival there to "showcase the work carried out by the Ashby Canal Trust and raise awareness for the continuing restoration".
