We always try to add a safe walking route to the sections of canal we are restoring, so that you can watch our progress. However some sections of the route have no access, as they are still in private ownership or can’t be accessed without a tunnel in place.
You can see the sections which can be walked along, for each canal, with suggested diversions where necessary on our maps pages:
As we are actively restoring the Lichfield Canal, it sometimes means some disruption. For your safety, we occasionally need to close sections of the towpath while work is underway.
