Grand Union Canal Walk
An easy 145-mile towpath walk from London to Birmingham.
A lengthy towpath walk connecting the two city centres, via Tring, Braunston, Warwick and much peaceful countryside which can also provide the basis for various short walks.
The canal began as the Grand Junction Canal, opened in 1805 to link the river Thames with the Oxford Canal at Braunston. This was later connected with another canal from Birmingham towards Warwick. The whole system, including various 'arms' or branches, was renamed the Grand Union in 1929, and the towpath was signed as a walking route in the early 1990s.
