Cycling
Imagine a place where you can cycle all day and never meet a car - and you don't have to struggle up hills. Add an idyllic splash of water and you're pedalling the canals of Britain.
Towpaths, originally designed for horses pulling the working boats of the Industrial Revolution, now make perfect slow bike trails. And you can take the kids and let them ride safely in the great outdoors with all the thrills of a stress-free adventure following a secluded historic trail.
Many canal towpaths form part of the National Cycle Network, with over 650 miles of waterside routes. To find a route near you, just visit
