The Turfmarkt is a canal in the city centre of Gouda, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The north-west side of the Turfmarkt extends from the Lage Gouwe in the west to the Kleiweg in the east. The south-east side of the Turfmarkt extends from the Lage Gouwe to the Blauwstraat. The north-west side, from Kleiweg to Vrouwensteeg, was formerly called the Varkens-, Elzen- or Eiermarkt. The names used are a reminder of the sale of peat, alder wood, pigs and eggs, which used to take place here. The north-west side, from the Vrouwensteeg to the Vuilsteeg (now Lange Dwarsstraat), was called Hontscoop. The opposite south-east side was called Tevecoop (see fragment of the map of Gouda in Kuyper's municipal atlas).[1] The water of the Turfmarkt borders directly on that of the adjacent canal, the Gouwe, but is covered over at the Kleiweg. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turfmarkt_(Gouda)

The quay is very low here. This seems to have to do with the unloading of peat that was done here in the past

Beautiful canal with great buildings and small bridges.
