Fancy a great walk?

At The Navigation Inn we are proud to sit on The Montgomery Canal . Now is the perfect time to take a walk and explore this wonderful stretch of water. From The Navigation Inn you can walk along the currently navigable section onto the restored but currently unopened section. After that, reach the length currently being restored followed by a short out of water section before the new Crickheath winding hole. Not only can you enjoy the wonderful history of the canal but as we come into spring Nature works its magic with a plethora of wildlife, flora and fauna. It is a level walk with no stiles or other impediments. The return trip is about 3.8 miles.

Well worth tying up great walk with a trip to see us!

Check out our short video above giving you a taster of what you might enjoy.

Watch out for leaflet of easy walks from The Navigation Inn - coming soon!
