I have walked this trail around the canal for many years. There have been times when the channel was so low in water that narrated tours have to be canceled because the ship is unable to sail. Sometimes it's almost flooded and on the coldest days of winter it freezes over. Still, it doesn't matter because I always enjoy the walk.

Canal reflections and busy towpath on the Calder & Hebble Navigation at Brookfoot, Brighouse in West Yorkshire
I wanted a "sunnier" feel to this, hence no textures or "ageing" effects.
The shot was taken by the old Coalport China works, just outside of Ironbridge.

This is the towpath between North Warnborough and King Johns Castle. Despite it being Autumn things are a rich green still for the most part and with the reeds growing so high you can’t even see the canal at times! Lovely though with sounds of ducks coots and Little Grebe.
As the second longest river in the UK, the Thames has historically been the major line of communication, transportation, and nourishment for not only London, but seven different counties in England. As a great provider for the English people, it's no surprise that the water source has the nickname ''Old Father Thames.

A favourite place to take photographs on the canal. Today there were a couple of swans who posed perfectly for the picture..

Delaware and Raritan Canal
Washington Crossing, NJ, USA
The canal built in the 1830s connected the Delaware and Raritan Rivers. It was an efficient means of transportation of freight between Philadelphia and New York City. The canal cut many miles off the existing route down the Delaware and up the Atlantic Ocean coast.

Towpath between the river and canal on the Calder and Hebble Navigation - Brighouse, West Yorkshire
(Brighouse Echo and Halifax Courier 16/1/2025)
This image is of the arm of the Grand Union Canal towards Market Harborough,at the bottom of the ten locks at Foxton in Leicestershire,where canal users either ascend or descend the longest set of staircase locks on the canal system in Britain. The Grade 11 listed locks are a popular tourist attraction but I liked this image as it was so much more serene than the hustle and bustle of the locks themselves.
Many thanks for taking the time to view this and other images in my photo stream.
This beautiful house is located on the banks of the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal about half way between Stourport-On-Severn and Kidderminster.On looking at it i don't thick it has always been a house .Between the 2 upstairs windows there is a bricked up arch and above that there is a small opening where i think lifting gear was located so maybe used for loading and off loading goods to and from the narrow boats that used the canal so the house may have part of some past industry that was situated here
