Activity

Walk

“Radford Bank and the Staffs. & Worcs. Canal.” This is an easy 5½ mile walk with no stiles along the towpath, grass paths and pavements. There is one gentle incline when we first leave the towpath, and a steady descent back down to the canal in the latter part of the walk.

From the pub car park, we turn left onto the Staffordshire & Worcestershire towards Baswich, leaving the canal by bridge 103. Here there is a short climb on a green track up to the Stafford suburbs of Weeping Cross and Wildwood, which we pass through on pavements.  Thereafter, we descend along a further green track down to the canal, which we re-join at bridge 96, alongside Stafford Boat Club. From here we return to our starting point with fine views across Radford Meadows.

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
