A breathtaking route with a fresh surprise round every corner, swooping gravel descents, a river crossing and an ancient chapel to whet your appetite. Then some of the greatest engineering feats of the English canal network, the superhighways of the 1800's, complete with horse drawn boats (maybe), but even without those you'll still need to pass through the way that they once walked.
