Hiking
The Uttoxeter branch of the canal is derelict, but the first lock and basin at Froghall have been restored by the Caldon and Uttoxeter Canals Trust and re-opened on 23rd July 2005.
A bequest by Christine Vernon was made to the Inland Waterways Association which provided money for mooring pontoons and new stone to restore the first lock and basin of the Uttoxeter Canal.
The Uttoxeter Canal was a thirteen-mile extension of the Caldon Canal running from Froghall as far as Uttoxeter in Staffordshire, England.
