Walking along the Trent & Mersey Canal

The towpath is generally in good condition, allowing walkers to enjoy attractions such as the picturesque Dove Valley and the newly restored Anderton Boat Lift.

Co-operation between British Waterways and local authorities has led to significant improvements to the path through Stoke-on-Trent and the Potteries, making it the best way to discover this fascinating industrial area.
