Our personal favourite
Travelling south from Weedon, the Grand Union Canal
passes through the one and a quarter mile long Blisworth
tunnel. At the other end lies the small canalside village
of Stoke Bruene with its Waterways Museum, definitely
worth a visit.
On south, the canal passes over a small aqueduct at
Cosgrove, through Linslade and Leighton Buzzard to
Marsworth Junction and on south through Tring cutting to
Cowroast lock; and return to Weedon.
98½ miles - 64 locks -
1 tunnel - 1 aqueduct - 7½ hours per day navigating (an
easy week). Also an ideal route for short breaks.
