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.
