Stratford-on-Avon Canal Walk
'The canal is usually considered as a northern and a southern section. The Northern Stratford starts at Kings Norton Junction, with its guillotine-gated stop-lock that prevented water loss from one company's line to the other. It continues on the same level for ten miles then descends by 19 locks to Kingswood Junction, where there is a link to the Warwick & Birmingham Canal (now the Grand Union Canal). The South Stratford is memorable for its split bridges, built with a gap to allow the tow ropes of the boat horses to pass through, and its unique barrel-roofed lock cottages.'
The Website of the Stratford upon Avon Canal Society provides 'a series of diagrammatic maps of the Stratford upon Avon Canal with information for walkers and boaters and some historical points'.
