Trent and Mersey Canal Towpath

Highlight • Trail

Nice quiet part of the canal towpath, the odd dog walker as expected, but a nice varied addition adding a circular walk to a day at the Arboretum.

August 18, 2024, Trent and Mersey Canal to The Coventry Canal via Fradley Junction

A fantastic and beautiful and exceptionally scenic walk. Lovely and flat too. The churches are wonderful to stop off at and take a look inside. Highly recommend a stop off and the cafe on the stop. There is a gorgeous pub on the canal side also. One of the best Kamoot walks that we have completed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
