The canal provides an ideal setting to explore the area, whether it be on the water or by foot.
Everyday many people use a section of the canal to walk along. It may be part of their daily route or just an occasional stroll in the evening.
Walking along the towpath allows you to observe the wildlife and take in the tranquil atmosphere; an ideal way to spend part of your day. Access points are frequent and there are pubs every few miles if required.
