A Walkers Tale

Today is our second of two days spent walking the Stratford-Upon-Avon Canal, having taken on a more urban stretch of  canal  between Kings North and Hockley Heath on the previous day. Our destination for today is Stratford-Upon-Avon, and this promises to be a far more rural stretch of  canal  than we saw on the previous day, as we continue to head across the Midlands.

Today we are once again taking on a canal route , as we continue to do our best to get out during The Great Rain of 2026 ,   without being at risk of death by drowning, in middle of a boggy field. For this walk, I have chosen to head out along the Stratford-Upon-Avon Canal - in part because that is where the best weather can be found, but also because (after an initially more urban section) this canal takes on a rural route across the Midlands, before finishing up in the pretty town of Stratford-Upon-Avon.
