Enjoyed this.Thanks for creating the vid. I've seen bits of it as I've driven around and at Longcliffe it still holds water. I'm not sure if it does elsewhere?
Thanks for the comments, and a good question, Matty. I've not come across any water bearing sections myself. But the OS map shows a short water -filled section on private land in Osgathorpe. It's not visible on Google Earth due to tree cover.
@@flymuzza9205 Yes - you can see it clearly when driving on the Ashby Rd. past the Manorhouse Cottage. I then look the opposite side as you pass over the bridge with the metal railings. I don't know if the bridge is still intact under the road? Regarding Longcliffe holding water, I stopped to look one spring as something was moving and it was alive with either frogs or toads spawning in the shallow water. 52°45'09.8"N 1°15'24.8"W This looks like a mooring area or a winding hole (both). I don't know if it all dries up in the summer? I find it facinating how ground was found that is level enough to form a canal over the Forest only to have it burst at Nanpantan and never be used. Imagine the dynamics of the surrounding areas if it had been more successful?

Do you know what gauge the waggonways were?
Love these videos, thought I was the only one curious about where old canals and railways once ran. Thanks check out Steven Pickers Leicexplore
