Walking & running along the Union Canal

Great for local walks, city walks, country walks and long distance walks. The tow path on the Union could be the route to regular exercise or the ideal spot for a gentle stroll in the tranquil surroundings.

Check our Canal Works & Boater's Updates page for details of current works along the Union Canal.

In the city

The towpath on the Union Canal forms a great route for regular walking in the city, to get to work, to walk the dog or get some exercise. Escape the city streets for a while and enjoy a new perspective on the city.

Out of town

Enjoy longer walks along a canal which is well served with excellent places to stop for refreshments.

In the dark

Remember to bring your torch for the tunnels.
