This tranquil summer scene on the Trent and Mersey Canal footpath is a favourite! The curving canal and path, the pleasant greenery and houses, and the approaching stone bridge all combine to give a scene that is peaceful, interesting and typically English!

The view shows the easterly approach to Bridge #72 of the Trent and Mersey Canal at Little Haywood in Staffordshire. Please be aware that the bridge is low for pedestrians and that the tranquility is interrupted by noise from the nearby West Coast Main Railway Line.
