Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
June 6, 2025, Canal Towpath Walk

A towpath (known in German as a towpath or Leinpfad), which runs alongside the river or canal, was an essential part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could be propelled by motor power, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This activity was called "treideln" in German, and thus the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths – running directly along the bank – have survived to this day, they no longer serve their original purpose, but are still popular: namely, with hikers and cyclists.

A lovely place to go for a walk and cycle along the towpath. Just wear good shoes as it can be a bit muddy when it's wet.

An ancient area of woodland with a mixture of native tree species and a wide range of animals, insects and birds. The area is owned by Tarmac and the Ministry of Defence, some areas are occasionally closed for military exercises so always follow signs.

The building was built in 1701 to a design by William Gilkes and financed by Thomay Guy. The arcades on the ground floor were intended for holding markets and the first floor is supported by 18 Doric columns. A sign was placed at the front reading “This hall was built at the expense of Thos. Guy Esq. “Anno MDCCI built” (1701).
