Join us for this three-mile circular walk that features the Shropshire Union Canal and starts from Waverton near Chester.

Although quite short, it will be a bit of an adventure and a challenge as there are some unused and overgrown footpaths being included to form a circular and interesting route. In addition, there are several stiles but they are in good order and there are no hills or slopes. Moreover, there are some meadows to cross which are likely to be rough and uneven and apart for the excellent canal towpath most footpaths will be invisible, and it may be muddy in places.

If you had your Covid booster before the end of February this year and wish to join us on this walk, please book your place when you are confident you will be available.

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.
