Trent & Mersey Canal Towpath
'The canal takes you through some of the best scenes that our waterways have to offer, from the towering Anderton Boat Lift through to the nature reserve at picturesque Fradley Junction and the heritage-rich industrial sites of Stoke-on-Trent's potteries district ... The towpath creates a green corridor through Stoke-on-Trent, as well as offering a cycling and walking route through rural Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire.'
Trent and Mersey Canal [Wikipedia]
'The Cheshire Locks, the long flight of locks which drops the canal down from Stoke-on-Trent to the Cheshire Plain, have been mischievously renamed "Heartbreak Hill" by generations of leisure boaters. This is because the locks are close enough for the lock crew to stay on the towpath, rather than getting back on board ... but far enough apart to make serious inroads on your shoe leather. Think of it as a character-building experience. Other boating attractions include the Anderton Boat Lift, the historic Dove Aqueduct, and miles upon miles of slowly winding waterway through the Potteries and the peaceful countryside.'
