Hiking

The former asylum wharf is on the north bank of the canal above bridge 53. The land having been given by the Earl of Warwick. In 1871 the canal company was supplying water to asylum for laundry and heating purposes. The rail station alongside the canal at Hatton is probably grander as it served the many visitors to the County Asylum. Nearby is the King Edward VII sanatorium, built during the First World War. Both of these are now part of a larger housing area that took advantage of the previously developed site to create dwellings in the countryside.
