Ansty Visitor Moorings 
Rose and Castle, Main Road, Ansty CV7 9JD, United Kingdom
Ansty Visitor Moorings is on the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) just past the junction with The Forth and Clyde Canal.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

C&RT:
Situated on the outskirts of Coventry, Ansty is a
small rural village on the Oxford Canal. The site has good access to
from the M6 and M69 motorways and provides boaters with an ideal base
from which to explore the beautiful countryside of Oxfordshire,
Northamptonshire and Warwickshire. There is no designated car park at
this site so moorers must make alternative arrangements.
Canal World Forum:
Ansty is a prime example of no
mooring signs being erected for owners of recently (by canal
standards) built houses. Then the pub refused to maintain the bridge
from the visitor moorings to the village so it was demolished.
Ansty is probably one of the most boater hostile villages on the cut.
