Here on the Macclesfield Canal, just before Bollinhurt Brook, is a beautiful stretch of towpath, a bridge, and many mooring points filled with barges. The canal side here is pretty much festooned in colours, with brightly decorated canal barges filling up the numerous moorings here. It doesn’t matter what the weather is like, this area looks stunning in the sun or snow.
