Waterways walks are not just about walking...
Travel on foot through idyllic waterways scenery
On our own journeys, we've found canal walks that stand out for one reason or another - whether it's stunning views, highlights or themes of canal heritage, or just towpaths we want to rave about. Go for a day, a weekend, or longer. Whether you're a seasoned walker or just dipping your toes into your first pair of real walking boots, canals are refreshingly gentle terrain and it's rambling that doesn't have to mean getting lost... just follow the water. But don't expect any mile to be predictable. These are walks heavily dosed with waterways magic and high on adventure. Waterside walks aren't just for 'softies', these rambles are big and beautiful, and as different as any trek in a far-off place.
