Canal Breach Update
With the exception of the
canalside paths in the immediate vicinity of the breach and the path
[part of FP76] between the Whitchurch Canal Arm and Greenfields Local
Nature Reserve which is still flooded, all the other paths are now
walkable including the towpath from Danson's Bridge [Bridge 30] to
Grindley Brook and the Lockside Cafe. For Walks 2 & 9, the Shropshire Way and Sandstone
Trail, suggested alternative routes can be found on the Local Routes page. |
Detailed information about the walks is usually provided about a month before each walk.
Registration for the walk will open at the same time. Click here to register.
Meet at Sherry Mill car park, unless a different meeting point is given. Again, unless it says otherwise, dogs are allowed on walks
but MUST be restrained on a fixed length lead of no longer than 1.2m (4ft) at all times on walks.

We

Then return then return to the pub, where walkers will be encouraged to
join me for a coffee or a pint before returning to Whitchurch.
