#11: Stratford-upon-Avon Canal

One of my faves in the midlands. Just wandered from the Avon up the first 4 locks – the lock off the river (into the basin) is broad, the rest narrow...

Check out the balance beam at Maidenhead Road Lock!!!

Completed walking on the #StratfordUponAvonCanal with John from Wootton Wawen to #BancroftBasin and the junction with the #RiverAvon. A mixture of rural views, #EdstoneAqueduct, lots of locks, the accompanying railway, suburbs, industry & canal history.

Bank Holiday Monday linear walk on the #StratfordUponAvonCanal with John from Wootton Wawen to Hockley Heath. A long steady climb up with lots of interest on the way - #LapworthLocks, #KingswoodJunction & the #YarningaleAqueduct.

Lovely linear walk on the
#StratfordUponAvonCanal with John from Hockley Heath to #KingsNortonJunction. Lots of boats on the move, a guillotine stop lock, a tunnel & a surprisingly rural feel.
