Hiking

The Shrewsbury and Newport Canals were two different waterways, opened in the late 18th and mid-19th centuries, which both became part of the Shropshire Union in the 1840s. After a railway was opened, which ran parallel to the canal, trade began to decline and the canal was closed in stages during the 20th century. Today it is a peaceful place for recreation, both on and alongside the water.
