Unfortunately, a large tree has fallen across both the navigation and the towpath. For safety reasons, we have had to temporarily close both the towpath and the navigation until the tree can be safely removed by our contractors. We are aiming to have the tree cleared on Monday 20th July and will reopen the area as soon as it is safe to do so. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.
