Tips

The Grand Union Canal was once one of the most important waterways in Britain, carrying goods between London and Birmingham. The canal travels 137 miles (220 km) in total, with 166 locks. After the introduction of the railway and lorries, the waters were no longer needed for business and commercial trade stopped completely in the 1970s.

Today, the canal is a peaceful waterway carrying pleasure boats gently downstream. Joggers, cyclists and walkers enjoy the well-maintained tow path along its banks. The canal is a haven for wildlife, too.
