Pathway Along the Paddington Arm Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

🇩🇪 Wide enough for a bike. When there is oncoming traffic, someone has to go into the hedges.

Grand Union Canal Railway Bridge

Highlight • River

If you like bridges, this is a great section of the Grand Union Canal for you. Two train crossings and a large road crossing that usually houses some colourful house boats. Also a great spot to stop for shelter in an unplanned shower.

Little Venice

Highlight • River

Beautiful spot, especially in the early mornings and late evening when the sun reflects over the water between the ships. Many benches invite for a break.
