General
Description - This is a trip of 8 lock free miles to Preston Brook Marina & return.
The Bridgewater Canal was built in 1761 and is the first Canal in the UK not to follow the course of an existing waterway.
This essentially rural trip starts through the wooded cutting past Walton Hall before reaching more open country. It spends a brief period passing through the back gardens of suburban Cheshire before returning to the countryside and ending at Preston Brook Marina (the home of Venture Canoes)
