THE TRENT AND MERSEY CANAL

The information provided on this page will be related to sights and scenes that can be accessed while cruising the Trent and Mersey canal.
If you wish your holiday to be more a voyage of discovery as you pass along the canal, perhaps this page is not for you. 
Maybe you just wish to experience the relaxed experience of prolonged, gentle, canal boat cruising. 
But for those of you who wish a more planned holiday that will take full advantage of what lies within easy access of this inland waterway this page may help.

This route includes several interesting canal junctions and passes some beautiful countryside near Cannock Chase. You may prefer to turn right at pretty Fradley Junction and travel along Brindley's Trent and Mersey.
It will take 21 hours of actual cruising and you will need to pass through 18 locks in each direction.
