Edstone Aqueduct

Highlight • Historical Site

The longest canal aqueduct in England is said to be 145m long and was built between 1793 and 1812. The iron canal is navigated by narrow, purpose-built ships and the locks are operated by hand. There is a small parking lot below the viaduct. From there you can take a staircase directly to the canal.

Stratford-upon-Avon Canal

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A bit tougher than the section to the south, but still eminently rideable on a gravel bike at any time of the year. A couple of spots are a bit muddy, but nothing too horrendous and certainly worth it for the scenery and the tranquility.
