The Grand Union Canal was formed to link London, the Nottinghamshire Derbyshire coalfields, and Birmingham under single ownership. The main line of this canal was the Grand Junction Canal (Braunston to Brentford). This was authorised in 1793. It provided a more direct route to London than the existing route of the Oxford Canal and the Thames.

Take a beautiful journey by water on the Grand Union Canal. Built over 200 years ago the canal was originally created to provide a transport link between London and Birmingham. Today the canal offers a serene option for those who want to travel by water to explore in and around Milton Keynes and to those who want to run and walk alongside it.

A picturesque scene along the Grand Union Canal of three locks stacked behind one another. This is a great place to stop and admire the view, you may even be lucky enough to catch a canal boat passing through. There is also a great pub along the path, The Three Locks, which is serving up daily doses of delicious food and drink.
