Braunston Locks, on Grand Union looking over Lock 1. Photo taken on 22 June 2010 in superb Spring weather. This is a true canal and rural visually mixed experience. There are 6 locks in all set in rural surroundings but all close to the village. They lead up to Braunston Tunnel which can be “legged” if you want a purist experience, I’m told.

Stourbridge Canal on BCN, looking NE to Lock 10. Photo taken on 9 July 2010. The Dock off licence and general store is on the left. The immediate area is a super place to spend half a day. There are lovely lawns before this shot and the Redhouse Glass Centre where within an original conicular building you can see glass objects being blown and drawn and can purchase all sorts of attractive objects. There’s a super low priced tea room as well

Great Haywood Junction, of the Trent and Mersey with the Staffs and Worcester canals 4 miles East of Stafford. (The Staffs and Worcester bears off to the left from the bridge on the extreme left). This is a very popular place for those cruising to moor for the night and also for visitors to Shugborough Hall which is just across a canal bridge from Great Haywood Village. There is a delightful coffee shop/cafe by the bridge which overlooks the canal.
