Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle whisper of the water? It feels like the canal is sharing its secrets with you. Look to the east, where the Lock Keeper's House 99 stands. Imagine the bustling life of the lock keepers, ensuring ships passed through safely. Now, turn slightly northeast to spot the Towpath Stone 170. Back in the day, ships were pulled by horses, not engines, and these stones helped guide them safely along the banks. It's quite fascinating, isn't it? The blend of nature and engineering here is truly remarkable.
