    Tips

    Hiking

    This is the canal tunnel that goes underneath the A40 dual carriageway. It is quite a length and the footway is narrow, so if you are on a bicycle I would suggest you take it carefully as pedestrians have right of way here.

    Cycling

    Look out for kingfishers along this stretch.
