Bugsworth Basin

A walk along the canal is on promise today as we explore the peak Forest Canal for about 5km in both directions starting from here, its terminus. See PiP for alternative view.

Bugsworth Canal Basin on the Peak Forest Canal, and not far from the town of Whaley Bridge, was once the largest and busiest inland port on the narrow canal system and the only one to survive intact.

A great shot Herb,. capturing lots of interest,. I always marvel at the engineering that goes into the building of canals years ago,..planning the route itself - overflows and top up supplies from rivers to cater for all conditions - all had to be worked out... Keep well - and Cheers' from > Dj.

Glad you liked this David. Yes, our canals where quite marvellous as main transportation routes. The basin would have been a real hub of activity.

Best Wishes. Herb
