Towpath closures
We’re actively restoring the Lichfield Canal — and while that’s great news for the future, it sometimes means some disruption. For your safety, we occasionally need to close sections of the towpath while work is underway.
Planning a walk, run or ride? Check here first to see if any closures or ongoing works might affect your route.
