About

Unfortunately, this walk has been cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. Anyone who has purchased tickets will be contacted by a member of the team.

Jump aboard the narrowboat John Varley and sail with us to Bluebank Lock where we will stop for our picnic fun and games, then you can either walk or ride on the boat back to Tapton Lock.

Enjoy all the peace, tranquillity and wildlife this lovely waterway has to offer.  Watch for wildlife and enjoy the canal from the water and the towpath.
